* Fuse: Check the fuse that powers the windshield wipers. If the fuse is blown, replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage.
* Electrical switch: Check the electrical switch that controls the windshield wipers. Try turning the wipers on and off a few times. If the wipers don't work, the switch may be faulty and need to be replaced.
* Wiper motor: Check the wiper motor. The motor might not be getting power, or it might be faulty. If the motor is faulty, it will need to be replaced.
* Relay: Check the relay that controls the wiper motor if it is getting power. If the relay is faulty, it will need to be replaced.
Mechanical Issues
* Wiper blades: Check the wiper blades to see if they are worn out or damaged. If the wiper blades are worn out or damaged, they won't be able to clear the water off the windshield.
* Windshield washer fluid: Make sure the windshield washer fluid reservoir is full. If the reservoir is empty, the windshield wipers will not be able to clear the dirt and debris off the windshield.
* Linkages: Check the linkages that connect the wiper motor to the wiper blades. If the linkages are damaged or disconnected, the wiper blades will not move.
Computer Issues
* Body control module: The body control module (BCM) controls various electrical components in the vehicle, including the windshield wipers. If the BCM is faulty, it could cause the windshield wipers to stop working.
