Remove the wiper arm from its mount. Check to see if the teeth have been striped. If they are okay, then you need to remove the cowl at the base of the windshield to check the linkage. It could be disconnected or broken.

Let me know if you have other questions.

Yesterday I cleaned the corrosion off the positive terminal of my battery, get in my car today and now the wipers will not work. Does that have anything to do with cleaning the terminal yesterday? I have been having alot of problems starting my car lately and that is why I cleaned the corrosion to eliminate my possible choices. I need my wipers though. Someone please help!

That should not have caused the problem. Have you checked to see if there is power to the wiper motor?

Wipers quit working. I changed the fuse then changed the wiper motor. Still not working. I am getting power to one wire at the electrical plug. Is there anything else I should check?

Run a seperate ground from the motor directly to the ground on the battery to see if it works.

Let me know what you find.
