Default wipers stopped working

2016 Lariat. 52k. Today driving home in the rain and the wipers stopped working. They won't spray the fuild, none of the wiper functions work. Has anyone experienced this? Any thoughts what to check? Hard to imagine the wiper motor died on a such a new truck. Then again I am on my third set of IWE's.

May be a bad switch if none of the functions work. Check the fuse also,

I checked the #22 fuse which is the wiper motor. Looks fine.

If it won’t wipe OR spray, your talking a pump and a motor, which one shouldn’t effect the other (but never know as much as things are computerized/integrated these days). The big piece in common with them is the stalk. Without having seen a diagram of what’s all involved, if I was going to shotgun a part, it’d be the stalk.

I need some more ideas. I received the new multifunction switch tonight. Installed, and no dice. Same issue. The lights, high beams, and turn signals work just fine but the wipers along with the wiper pump/spray don't work at all.

Everything goes through some type of module. Did you check the SCCM for fault codes and live data?

No, how do I do that? What is the cost? I'm trying to avoid the hassle and expense of a dealer. That said, considering that it's still relatively new, I'm not very excited about having to work on my 2016 truck.

Hardly anyone at a dealer troubleshoots anymore. They read from a script and go down the lines on auto pilot. If the problem isnt solved by the end, they report no problem found.
