I was at 100dod and I remember going off track over at jefferson and my wipers turned on once. Never gave it a second thought cause I guessed I might have just flipped it accidentally.

Today when I was trying to wash my car, I tried to wipe off the water on the windshield and my wipers didn't work. The flipper didn't seem to have any response. I checked all the wiring and the harness in the right wheel well was rubbed all the way through. I cleaned off all of the excess rubber and made sure all the wires were good.

Then I wrapped the wires back up with electrical tape:

Tucked them back behind the fender.

I checked lever again. Still didn't work.

I then started searching online and checked fuses and the TCU and the little green box on the driver side. They seemed to be fine.

I'm guessing its the actual lever now I supposed, or the motor, but the motor looked fine and I don't know how it could have gotten damaged by a bump?

Any input guys?

Is this the drivers side? i recently had to repair my wires and had the same problem and still unsure of the cause. Let us know what you discover, I'm interested in your findings!

This is passenger side. The driver side's seemed fine.

I should also mention that the windshield wiper spray doesn't work either.

Try another wiper switch,it couldve sent a bad signal when the wires got messed up and burnt the switch out

So it was just the fuse, or did you have to do anything else other than bundle back up the wires?

It was just the fuse. I guess the circuit blew when the wires all got crossed.
