Not sure if there are more fuses or relays for the wiper motor, I will check through my repair manual though. Did you look at the connections for the motor? Make sure the wires are plugged up, that may be the problem. Who knows, the motor might be bad itself.

You might want ot unplug the plug that goes to the wiper motor , turn on the wiper switch, and then check the plug for power with a test light. If you find power, then turn the switch of. If the light goes off then the wiper motor is no good and you need to replace it with a new one. If you do not find power at all , you might need a new switch or something else might be wrong.:flashsmil

This is what I gathered from my repair manual;

-Fuse or circuit breaker blown - replace fuse or circuit breaker

-Loose, open or broken wiring - repair wiring and connections

-Defective switch - replace switch

-Defective or corroded terminals - replace or clean terminals

-No ground circuit for motor or switch - repair ground circuits

why not just test the motor straight up.... get a battery and put it tot he main termial of the motor, and if it runs... ur problem ain't ur motor....

yeah i finally figured out it seemed that the switch was broken, and the motor, the copper wires in the motor werent touching it was getting old. thanks though for help
