Does anyone know why the wipers and screen washer jets do not work whilst the bonnet is up?

No, but why would you want them to?

Well I do have a slow jet flow, and I was hoping to listen to the pump with the bonnet up, to see if it was struggling. But clearly I can’t do that, and wondered why they would be disabled in that way. Hey ho.

You could leave the bonnet up and close the catches with a screwdriver or something. This means you can try the jets and wipers with the bonnet open. Just be sure to remember to pull the bonnet release again before you close it.

The washer pumps are located in the offside front wheel arch. Behind the wheel.
I’ve just spent a week giving mine some TLC.
Half a dozen trim rivets to remove and an M6 panhead bolt.
Peel back the wheel arch liner and all your gubbins are on display.
You shouldn’t need your bonnet open for that
