Intermittent front windshield wiper does not work nor does the washer pump. I have checked all fuses.

Inspect and test the windshield wiper relay, wiper and washer switch, general module and the washer pump

If you are trying to troubleshoot without a repair manual you are not going to make it. there are other things involved with the windshield wiper electrical system other than what I gave you. lacking the electrical experience, my advice is to bring it in.

Wipers just stopped working
Six cylinder four wheel drive automatic 350 miles.

I have just bought this car and the wipers just stopped working and they would not start again. I checked the fuses and they are intact. Please if you could give me a clue what could be wrong I would appreciate it. Thank you.
