Windshield Wipers don't work! Help

[ToogyTJ]

My windshield wipers decided to quit working today. I checked the fuse and it looks good. Anybody have any idea of what the problem might be.

Thanks

See if there is power getting to the wiper motor.

This happened to me a couple of months ago. Here is what I ended up doing. YMMV.

To do this suff, you will have to take off the cowel portion of your front end.

As JeepCB stated make sure there is power. Check-I had power (3 different powers to check I believe(slow medium fast).

Make sure there is ground. Check-I had ground.

Make sure the linkage isn't binding. Check- No binding.

Order a new/used wiper motor from Olympic 4x4. Check- Showed up in a couple of days (45$ versus $165 new from dealer!)

Installed new motor.- Check. wipers work again.

Notes-
Someone mentioned to me that there is another fuse to look at on the wheel well that should be checked. I couldn't find any problem up there.

If you do go the new/used route, make sure you save the bolt from the old linkage. It is odd sized and pretty important.;)

Lastly, Make DURN sure that you have the linkage in the correct placement. Those motors are pretty powerful and I put a decent scratch in my jeep as well as bent the wiper arms becuase I installed the wipers in the off position when the should have been in the full up position.!
