08 wipers inop.

I'm going to be working on an 08 model that blew the fuse for the wiper/washer and ac blower. The fuse was replaced and the ac worked but not the wipers. They were using the wipers ar the time. What wires can be tested to make sure its getting signal from the switch? How likely is it to be the wiper motor instead of the switch?

So just to make sure you checked fuse #45 inside the cab and you checked #17 under the hood? Just asking because a lot of people don't realize sometimes there might be 2 or 3 fuses that need to be checked for 1 component.

Fuses blow for a reason. You very well may have a bad wiper motor or something is obstructing its linkage.

Well I installed a remanned wiper motor today. Now I have high speed wipers but nothing else. No washer and it does not return to its resting spot. The old motor had a copper strip broken out and it smelled burned. Do you think it burned the multifunction switch or maybe I got a bad part? I thought the brain for all the functions were built into the wiper motor.
