Wipers stopped working this morning

Hey guys, so this morning my wipers decided to stop functioning. I have read a few methods to test and so forth. looking to take the switch apart and clean the contacts. I hope its not the motor, i hear this isnt fun to replace.

any other thoughts?

If you can get the wipers to work by wiggling the delay **** it's definitely dirty or worn contacts. Many of my Fords from this era had this problem. Cleaning the contacts usually worked like a charm.
