Default I need some c5 help

Hi peeps,
I have a serious problem with my car, my wipers don’t work that means I can’t drive in the rain. I checked my fuses and everything is still good, but I don’t hear anything when I flip the switch on my steering wheel. Any ideas?

First, test for power at the wiper motor connector.

Just went through this. My wipers would sometimes or very slowly work on the highest setting. The cowl drains (sometimes called udders because of what they look like) were completely packed with likely 19 years worth of leaves and trash. The wiper motor must have been underwater.

Definitely verify the motor connector for power. But it will likely result in you replacing the wiper motor like I did. I bought a used one on ebay for about $30.
