If your wipers working front and rear you changed the fuse what is wrong?

If your front and rear wipers are not working *after* you've changed the fuse, the problem is likely not the fuse itself. Here are some possibilities:

* Wipers motor failure: The motor that drives the wipers could be faulty. This is a common cause of wiper malfunction.

* Wipers switch failure: The switch that activates the wipers could be broken or faulty.

* Wiring problem: There could be a break or short in the wiring harness leading to the wiper motors. This could be anywhere from the switch to the motors themselves.

* Relay failure: The wiper system often uses a relay to control the motor. This relay could have failed.

* Low wiper fluid (if relevant): Some wiper systems have a sensor that prevents operation if the fluid reservoir is low. Check the fluid level. (This is less likely if both front and rear wipers aren't working).

* Parked wiper arm issue: If the wipers stopped during the parking cycle, the arm may be mechanically jammed.

* Multiple fuse issue (unlikely but possible): It's *possible* that there are multiple fuses involved, and only one was addressed. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual for the complete fuse layout.

To diagnose the problem further, you'll likely need a multimeter to check for power at various points in the wiper circuit, or a professional mechanic.
