Default ++ freaking wipers++

ok heres the story. i bought a 99 ex coupe. wipers worked fine. i swapped out my ex steering wheel for a 1999-00 si steering wheel. horn works fine. i never checked the wipers. the other day when i try the wipers they dont work at all. i took off the wiper switch behind the steering wheel. checked it for any defects didnt see any and put it back on. still the same. i checked all fuses and there all good. still no luck..any ideas?

jjust because the switch looks okay doesnt mean it is, im pretty sure a switch from 92-00 civic and a 94-01 integra will work. i think.

It actually is very possible for the switch to just 'go out like that'.
Or it could be your wiper motor. get a wiring diagram and start learnin' how to use a test light. Good luck

Switches don't just fail gradually (okay, well maybe sometimes). They can fail all of a sudden. I've seen it happen plenty of times.

Swap the switch for a known good one and see what happens.

I'd check everything is assembled correctly. It's interesting that it'd break as soon as you swapped to a new steering wheel.

Like boost4beauty said, just diagnose it properly instead of throwing parts at it.
