Oh no mate, what happened?

did you fry a chip on the VCU?
is your inverter not starting again?
I know, you welded closed another contactor in the safety box?

... wait what? your windshield wiper motor doesn't work!!!

Make sure you move the right and left side linkages by hand to make sure they move freely.

Also make sure that the wiper switch has a good ground at the dash....
