Prefer toggle switch as replacement. Followed YouTube/goggle information for all connections/relay. LED switch lights up but wiper motor no movement. Totally frustrated. Thanks

Welcome to 2CarPros.

Have you confirmed power to the wiper motor? Have you checked the ground? Let me know what you have done. I'm not sure what you followed already. If you haven't checked for power at the motor, using a test light, check that first.

Also, using a multi meter, confirm there is continuity to ground.

If you look at pictures 1 and 2, they show the entire wiring system for the wipers (non delay type). If you have delay wipers, let me know. You can see where power comes from the switch and goes to the wiper motor. Check for power at those wires and let me know the results.

I had to break the picture in two so it would fit. I did overlap them so you could follow them easily.

Let me know what you find.
