Default wipers dont work...

So my wipers dont work. I actually never have had to use them until today haha. I dont know where to start... could this be simply a fuse or is this gona require getting into wiring and be a pain in the *** to fix?

Could be your wiper motor, mine was bad. I got a working one at a junk yard for like 15 bucks. That would be my suggestion. It's cheap and relatively easy with very little work. Before you do that though, definitely check your fuses.

If the fuse is good check to see if the ground that is comming off of the wiper motor is getting a good ground. Run a wire from that wire straight to the battery and see if they come on. Then if you have a multimeter check to see if the motor is getting voltage. If so then yes your motor is bad. I had the ground problem with mine.

check the wiper relay box..it say's DO NOT DROP on it...

yes the easiest way is to jumper the wiper motor to make sure it's not that.
