You need to give us some more info - just stopped in the middle of the action or? Not parking?

I attempted to use them yesterday and nothing happened, they were/are in the parked position.

As for a first step, check that no wire has came unattached from the swith Ray.
There's no fuse for the windshield wiper motor but there's a Circuit breaker mounted on the back of the switch.

Check for power at the switch then on to the motor etc.

Did anything else stop working? Things are probably different in your car, but I have a problem with the ignition switch
in my 56 plymouth and when it acts up I lose the wipers, turn signals, gas and temp gauges, and the radio. Jiggling the
key in the switch brings everything back.
