Windshield wiper not working

My front windshield wipers stopped working. Everything else is functioning properly. I checked all the fuses and they are fine. Is the only other posibility the wiper motor?

No, but I think I will go get one so I can see if the current motor is broke.

Check the sticky I made in the advanced electrical section. Pretty sure you'll find your issue.

Check your wiring under the dash, above the kick panel. You will most likely find corrosion and water spots everywhere. Although its usually a 05-06 issue, 03's can get it as well.

Or you have a broken wire, switch, or bad motor. Time to buy a test light.

Today I was messing around with the wires above the pedals and I didn't really find anything. I ture the key to check the wipers and the move back and forth but at only one speed. I must of missed a wire. Can anyone be more specific on were I need to look?
