Hi Gang,  
So, I just bought this used pickup and love it. Yet my wipers don’t work. I checked the fuse and it’s ok. I replaced the entire multi-function lever with the blinker/high beam, wipers control, etc. and the wipers still don’t budge. All I can think of now is that an electrical wire or bridle is shorted out. Any ideas friends? Mahalo (Thank You) for you time!

Have you tried running 12 volts directly to the wiper motor to see if it works?
