Coming home from a camping trip we need to use the wiper blades to clear the windshield. Turned them on and nothing happen. Stopped at a rest area and check the fuse and it was good (replaced it just in case). Lucky we didn't need them the rest of the way home. Last time wipers were used was coming home in the rain from FL this past spring. While on this trip we did have a day it rained all day while parked. Any ideas on what may be my problem or what to check. This is on a 2003 Newmar Kountry Star.

Sorry this got posted in the wrong forum. Needs to be in Newmar but I don't know how to move it.

try grabbin the wiper arm and moving it a little, might just need to move it off the internal off contact spot. you might have to move both arms at the same time

What BillyB said might work. The stow switch is internal in the motor assy and gets corroded and stuck at times. The contacts in the switch also get burned at times so moving the arms may just break it loose.
