2000 XJ no wipers
Hey guys, last weekend the front windshield wipers in my 2000 Jeep XJ stopped working. Originally I thought it may have been the 20 amp fuse located in the passenger side footwell, but after replacing the fuse I still have no wipers. When I have the wipers on from inside the Jeep, I can move the wiper blades by hand. The windshield wiper pumps were replaced last year as well, and my rear windshield wiper works fine. Any ideas on what to do?

Perhaps the motor. If you put the wipers on and try starting them by hand will it work? The correct way to test is to disconnect the wiper connector at the motor and with a test light or multimeter see if it's getting electricity when the wiper switch is on. But for me I knew it was the motor because I was able to get it started by hand when the switch was on.
I had to replace my motor on the my 99 xj (with only 75,000 miles on it)this past year.
