Windshield wipers not working.

My BII and I are not getting along with each other this week...Today in the middle of a rain storm, my winshield wipers quit working.....any suggestions?

blown fuse? Wiper motor quit? Wiper switch quit or needs a good cleaning? I would first check the fuse.

My wipers only work on HI & LO settings(no intermitten) and if you turn them off they stop where ever they are(like in the middle of a swipe). Better than nothing ya, but really annoying when you're trying to plow; use one hand to plow/steer/wipers & other to shift is a pita. I had a little mis-hap when drilling a hole through the firewall(for plow controls), and got a little too close to a piece of electric tape on a few wires. Lost my horn, directionals, and wipers started acting up. Directionals was a fuse. Not sure what the horn or cruise problem is because it comes and goes(can hear clicking at the relay below the steering colum when hitting the horn).

It was a bad ground....the ground screw that the ground wire was attahced to was corroded pretty bad....I cleaned it with PB Blaster and now they work just fine....

Where's this ground wire at? Have this issue on one of my trucks since I bought it.
