Last night while it was raining the wipers worked fine. Then without warning they stopped and now I hear a humming noise when I attempt to turn them on. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Youi'll have to check if the wiper switch is grounding the wiper motor so it will work. The switch completes the circuit to make a wiper work. There is also a circuit board in the wiper that operates the delay and that can go bad. It's about $50 for that. You may have a ground in the wiper motor that has broken loose so you need to check that.
