My wipers seem to work sometimes. It's not the motor because the jets won't come on either, I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the switch assembly, and it has its moments where it would actually work.

any insight :frown:

The FSM should show you a wiring diagram for the switch. If you want to test the motor just wire 12v to the motor and see if the wipers turn on. Have you checked the possibility of a blown fuse or wiring? Could be a bad ground?

well it can't be the wiper motor, because the spray nozzles aren't working...and the fuse is in tact..i'm narrowed down to it being the actual pod.

Assuming spray nozzles aren't clogged and the wiper spray motor hasn't died at the same time then yeah you are probably on the right track

i bet its a loose fuse in the fuse box. that's what mine is. if i wiggle the fuse while the switch is on, they work. give it a shot.

WOW!!!!! that actually worked!, its funny because i checked the fuse..pulled it out and made sure it wasn't blown 2 days ago..i guess because i didn't have the wipers ON i didn't realize that was the problem!...i just wiggled it a bit more in, and it works!. WOW I'm very relieved now, thanks a bunch bro!
