Is the Blower Motor inside the vehicle working?

If no, then the Ignition Switch or the load reduction relay that supply power to those components might be bad.

Let me know and I can supply more info.

Jasmin, thank you for the update!

Glad to hear you solved the issue!

I had failed to mention that another possibility could have been that the Wiper Lever on the motor came loose due to a loose nut (also
a common occurrence). Or the links that attach each wiper to the main shaft.
