Did you check each side of the fuse with a test light ?.I have been caught out checking fuses with a meter that tested ok only to find them go open circuit under load. If ok test again with the light at the wiper motor , if light shines bright fault is in the wiper motor, repair or replace.

SOURCE: I have a1992 ford explorer the front and rear wipers quit workin

check for power at the wiper motor. If power at the wiper motor but no wiper action then replace the motor. if no power at the motor then use a jumper wire and put power to the motor. Does motor run? if so check for open circuit in the wire someplace.

SOURCE: 2000 Explorer rear wiper motor does not work

check and see if the rear hatch is closed tight. I have had the same problem and solved it by always making sure the hatch is closed by giving it a nudge. Also there is a great web site for us explorer owners called explorer forum.com check it out.

SOURCE: windshield wipers and fluid not working in 1998

Sounds like the wiper motor is seizing up... it doubles and the washer pump ...
try to move them manually when you have them turned on...

The wipers quit on my 06 cruiser. they had been coming on and off by themselves for a while and then just quit. the back wipers work fine.

if power to wiper motor, then replace the wiper motor. if no power when switch is on, it is most likely the wiper switch thats bad. check the relays and fuses first! good-day!

This sounds like the wiper motor has failed. It is a common problem that usually starts with the wipers moving slower than normal, then eventually quits all together.
