1)EVTM says check circuit breaker 2.....  referencing round turn signal can at 2 o'clock circuit breaker is at 6 o'clock

2)Battery voltage should be present between DG and BLK wires @ wiper switch  with ignition in run or accy, if not check wires for open

3)if both of these are OK switch is faulty

Do you have power with one meter lead on DG and the other on BK?  If so suspect switch.  Don't have evtm here not sure where bk wire goes.  I would assume ground

Just curious (and more info for diagnosis)...

Did the wipers:

1 - Not move from "parked", though they worked fine last time.

2 - Stop in the middle of wiping with the blades still up on the glass, never to move again.

3 - Go down and "park" themselves while wiping as if you had turned them off, even though the switch was still "on".
Death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth.
