My front wipers stopped working and I couldn’t figure out the problem so I replaced the wiper motor and switch and it still doesn’t work. Fuses aren’t blow and look good.
Front windshield wipers don't work

Do you know how to use a digital multimeter? If so, take it out and start testing wires. I would start by making sure there is power going to the wiper wiring harness connector when you turn on the wiper stalk.
Do your radio and turn signals work? Some of the contacts inside the ignition switch get corroded, so when the Jeep is running the wipers, radio, and turn signals won't function unless you jiggle the key.
Hope you kept your old one.
Usually, you can just whack it w/ a rubber mallet.
Sounds like a bad ground in your case.

Sounds like you're down to a wiring issue - are you good with using a multi-meter & reading diagrams? All your wiring diagrams are over in the TJ Resources forum, all your diagrams are in there & you might check out the wiper section. I haven't read through it myself but some of the sections have some pretty robust troubleshooting instructions. If you need a hand interpreting the diagrams let us know & we'll help you out.

Hey TJ forum - any follow-up on this? @MuffinMan1234 ? I am having similar issues as my wipers went out last week. I have checked the fuses (all ok), tested the motor (works), turn signals and hazards still work. So we took wiper switch out and tested it in my hubby's jeep and it works. Therefore I assume my issue is a wiring one... HUNTING the issues down. Used multimeter to see about power to harness connector but nothing. I need to get a probe to test power for the wires. ANY suggestions?? .... my wire colors do not match up with the diagrams I found on this site, SO GLAD THEY ARE ON HERE, Been using them for almost 6 years.
The problem I found was one the wires into the switch wasn’t all the way in. It was like a pinkish wire for me
