I have a 04 Astro van, the front wipers worked earlier this morning, I went to use again and nothing. The solvent works through the switch, but the wipers do not. I checked fuse, it looks fine. Would the switch be at fault or wiper motor. This is the front wiper motor.

Hi:
It could be the switch or the motor. If it isn't working, turn the key on and the wipers. With a test light, check if there is power at the wiper motor. If there is, most likely it's the motor. If there is no power, the problem exist before the motor. Check for damage to the wiring harness near the fire wall. If none, you will need to check power at the switch. If you have an air bag, I recommend having the steering wheel removed by a trained technician.

Thanks, I replaced the fuse to start even though it looked fine, then I ended up replacing the board, still no luck, I replaced the whole motor, still no luck. The only thing left is the switch. Its at the dealer, its a warranty issue.100$ deductable is better that 400 for a new switch. Thanks for Your reply. Dan
