wipers won't work
i have checked the fuse as well as the power wire, and they still don't work, what else other than a worn out motor could it be?

If you have power too them I would guess you hav a bad motor. It's fairly common to have those motors die. They really aren't tough to replace, just time consuming.

I also have to hold the button in. I tried 3 used switches with the same results. Could they all be bad? If I reach under the dash and touch the right wire just right they work. I have replaced the plug and all wires look to be in great shape.

Wiper motor is on the interior side of the firewall behind your dash.....if you look up under your dash you will see it. Not real easy to get to.
