Windshield wipers not working.

Tried to turn on my wipers this morning to clear the mist off my windshield. They went about a quarter of the way and stopped. Now they won't do anything. Could the problem be a fuse, or possibly the motor? I tried to locate the fuse box under the dash to check the fuse, but I couldn't locate the fuse box. Now what do I do? I have a 2014 Fleetwood Storm. Any Storm owners out there know where the fuse panel is. I need the panel with the fuse for the wipers. The chassis is a 2013 Ford Triton V10. Hope that helps.

Appears the problem was more complicated than I thought. Even the mechanic couldn't diagnose the problem until they called Fleetwood. Apparently Fleetwood routed the wiring through another system of relays that made repair more complex. It wasn't a problem with the Ford system, it was a problem with the Fleetwood system. So if you have a problem like this, have your mechanic contact Fleetwood.

the wipers on my Ford stopped working and the cause was the bracket that attaches the arms that move the wipers to the wiper motor broke. The first thing I would check is to turn on the wipers and look under the hood. See what is moving and what is not. In my case replacing the broken parts has been a little bit of a nightmare. They aren't Ford and had to be ordered from Thor. In the meantime I've used Rain X which works better than the wipers.

Only a suggestion ........ try rebooting by turning off and turning on the main electrial switch.
Can you test if power is at the wiper motor? I have a tester that tests for 12 volt existance ... very inexpensive at an automotive store. I know sometimes wiring harness's are complex to follow back to a source.
Just a thought!!!

I was having a similar problem with my MH. Washer would not work and only one speed on wipers. I checked all fuses which were ok....finally took to my mechanic and turns out it was a computer module. Really....for the wipers??? Ordered the part and works fine now.
