I was driving on the freeway, at night, in the rain, and my windshield wipers stopped working. I tried every setting to no avail. I tried using the cleaning fluid (which usually triggers the wipers) and the fluid pumped, but the wipers didn't wipe. The rear wiper is still working. I pulled to the side of the road, and checked the fuses, and they are fine. I tried to manually move the wipers, and they moved freely.
