Dead windshield wipers

Hi all,
The windshield wipers in my '84 just up and wouldn't turn on one morning. I went through all the fuses and they all look good.
Also, to try to nail down which fuse it is, I turned on the wipers in my '81 and kept pulling fuses until they turned off, and they never did.
Are they not fused in the fuse box? If not, is there a fuse somewhere else?

What should I look into to get these going again? Definitely need them!

I'd pull the windshield wiper switch and check the circuit breaker...sounds like it's toast.

Check your PM's.

Thanks for the info. Looks like I probably just lost my wiper switch. I ordered another one up and will install it in a few days.
