Default Wipers Not working

I know this may of been answered somewhere on the forums but i havent found the answer and i really need my wipers working again

I have a 2000 Cherokee Sport

Wipers and the washer squirters both dont work

I replaced the Column arm peice cause i thaught that could be the issue and it did not fix the problem

anyone on here know why my front wipers dont work???

There are two washer motors. (one for the front,one for the rear. They are located on the inner fender panel behind the driver headlight. They are about $12.00 each I believe.
