Default DASH and WIPERS stopped working

Hi guys, i just had my tranny fixed and the guy told me when he was test driving it in the rain, the wippers and the dash stopped working all of a sudden. what could be the problem? i checked the fuses in the fuse box but they are ok, are there any others i dont know about?

Dunno, but if he pulled the tranny-I'd suspect he missed reattaching a ground wire.

Use an ohmeter to confirm the inst fuse (3 amp) and the wiper fuse (25 amp) are good. The instrument panel ground and the wiper motor ground go to G104 which is on the rear of the engine behind the Left side valve cover. Follow the black wire from the wiper motor to this ground and check for the condition of this ground connection.
