The conectors may be corroded a bit. If not get a multi meter and check that. I'm not special at electrics really

It's a 10A fuse (I think)....one of the red ones anyway. Mine packed up when I reversed last year and my wiper was frozen to the rear screen. New fuse and it came back to life. I'd go check, but car's in the garage and I can't be bothered to get it out

I think the fuse card is reflected, from memory, which makes it hard to figure out what goes where until you understand it.
Got a picture of the card and the box?
