Good morning,

You need to start with checking the fuse. Verify power on both sides.

Beyond that, you need to check for power to the switch at the yellow wire in the switch.

Thank you. I honestly have no idea what all that means. I will have a mechanic check. I'm a female. I have no clue. I had someone check the wipers out. I don't think they checked to make sure if the fuse was burnt or even if they checked the wire that you're speaking of. Thank you for your response. I will have a mechanic check it out.
