Re: Wipers stopped working

Check for power at the motor, if you have power, replace motor.

If there is no power, move back to the switch... if you have power going in but not out (with switch on) replace the switch.
If there IS power coming out, but not getting to the motor, find the break in the wire.

If there is no power going into the switch, find out why... a break in teh wire between fuse and switch.

(did you just look at the fuse... or did you test it?)

If the fuse is good, my money is on the wiper motor.

Power at the motor and switch. Looks like I am replacing the motor. Any Ideas on an easy way to do it besides pulling the dash apart?

Never mind, don't want to take a chance or steering you wrong.

I'm dreading this one too. My wipers stopped. Think the motor is bad.
