wipers just quit

The wipers just quit working on my kids truck. I hear the relay clicking on the passenger side but they aren't moving. I think it's the multifunction switch but can't find my manual to get into it. What else is common to make them not work? Fuse is good too.

A little more info.


Verify the vehicle owner's original concern by operating the wiper and washer system to duplicate the vehicle owner's concern.
Inspect to determine if one of the following concerns apply.
VISUAL INSPECTION CHART

Mechanical
Windshield wiper blade missing or damaged

Kinked or broken windshield washer hoses
Electrical
Open 30 A fuses
Damaged windshield wiper motor
Damaged windshield washer pump
