Like I'm sure most of you with FC's know, My wipers are not working.

They used to work in the mid speed but now they don't work at all.

How do I know if it is the switch or the motor?

And does anyone have a switch to sell me? :bigthumg:

never heard of the motor going bad. The switch is the most common problem with the second gen. You can remove it and redo the soldiering on it to fix it yourself or buy a new one. Getting one from a junk yard will only get you back into the same situation in very little time.
