Bad Switch? My rear wiper would spray washer fluid but not operate the wiper motor. I tested the motor to make sure it worked, then replaced the switch and it all worked. I assume you are talking about the front wipers so maybe the multi-function switch is bad?
That's all I have, I'm sure others who know more will chime in.
edit: I just re-read your post and see that you replaced the switch already.

Yes front wiper. Im pretty positive its not the switch. I replaced it with an after market switch and it did not work so then I replaced it with a new oem switch but that did not work either.
Here's something to test out.
Unplug the connector that plugs into the wiper motor. Turn the wipers on (with the wiper motor unplugged) and use a test light to see if any of the connections to that plug are getting power (the test light will light up if they are). If they aren't that means you're not getting power to the wiper motor and that it's something else.
Have you checked to see if there's a wiper / sprayer relay? You could have a bad relay.

From what I understand there is no relay everything is inside the switch. It gets power just not on the low speed wire.
Okay, I would try my test light method then. At least then you'll know if you're getting power through the switch to the motor.
It does just not on the low speed wire. Cant figure out why and if that is messing with the rest.
Did you replace the switch with an OE switch (meaning not something from the local auto part store)?
I originally purchased a switch at an auto parts store and it did not work so I returned it. I then ordered a oum mopar switch but it did not work either.
Thats what I was thinking but having a hard time figuring out where they are at.
Ok hot wired motor just for giggles and it works. Grounds appear to be ok but on second inspection testing for voltage im only getting around .5 volts at switch, motor and fuse box.
I figured it out finally. Its was fuse 13 40amp in pdc fuse box under the hood.
