Windshield Wipers Broke?
Hey guys, hope everyone is well. I need some help in regards to my windshield wipers on my 01 f250 PSD.
It started raining yesterday so I turned my wipers on low and for some reason after about 4-5 swipes back and forth, the wipers got stuck in the middle position. Now they will not work at all and the wiper is in my vision while driving. I check the fuses and they were fine. I also pulled/jerked on the wipers so what to try and move them - but it didn't help either. Could this be a switch problem or has the motor gone out (I think it must be a switch b/c both wiper blades are stuck)? Any other thoughts suggestions? Happened to anyone else? Reoccuring problems?
Thanks for all your help guys!

Try this first, turn the wipers on and take a hammer and tap the motor a bit. Might work so you can get the wipers down. You might have a bad ground inside. Did it on a Chevy the other day at work.

thanks powerstrokin007. tried it today, but unfortunetly did not work. Also, when I hit my washerfluid switch - the pump works fine spraying fluid - but the wipers don't work with it. does this mean it is definetly the motor? If it is- how hard is it to replace.
