You knocked the wiper stalk when you got out & that put the wipers in to service position 
Normaly you just operate the stalk for flick wipe again to get the wipers back to the normal park position.
Also to be fair this information isnt in the owners handbook.

Also if I remove the fuse for the BSI the wipers work by themselves on intermittent so its not the motor.

Might be an idea to check all the earth points on that circuit and also if you have a spare relay try swapping them.

They are working now. I replaced the bsi while trying to fix something else and they worked. Thanks for your help anyway. My wipers have always worked when there has been no screen-wash in :s
