08 base fit, all windows won't work and rear wiper won't work

Hello all, I just purchased a base 08 fit for cheap.
The windows (all 4 ) won't go up or down. The window fuses are fine and the window lock switch is not depressed. I tried swapping the 40a relay under the hood with an identical relay and they still don't work. I pulled the driver door panel to check to make sure the connectors were connected and they looked fine. That's issue one.

Issue 2 is the rear wiper doesn't work. I have a multimeter but I can't really figure out how to test the motor or wiring to check whether it's getting voltage.

I'm trying to fix these before I put it through inspection and the shop try's to charge an arm and a leg for the repairs.
Can you guys point me in a better direction? I'm pretty mechanically inclined but electrical problems confuse me.
Thanks!

If no one has any idea , is there a good diagram for both fuse boxes showing all the relays and fuses? I mean I can read the panel that you pop off to get to the fuses but it's written in shorthand so I could be missing something.

Fit '08 Rear wiper and all windows don't work

I just did a search to see if I can repair this issue myself. Driving yesterday in rain, my rear wiper stopped midway, and simultaneously all four windows became inoperable. I thought it might be a fuse.
Can anyone offer ideas or advice on this?
