Default Troubleshooting Windshield Wipers 85/86

Hello all,first post, I need to get my windshield wipers working in a hurry so I can drive to work in a couple hours. As or now I'm not getting any engagement at all. Where should I start looking?

I would start with checking the fuse first and then relays if any.

Thank you for your reply. Luckily it didn't rain hard so I didn't need them but I did check the fuse and it looked fine although it is lower in amps than it should be. Could this be the problem? If not where do i find the relay and how do I determine if its needs replacing?

It won't fix your wipers but I'd immediately put rainex on the windshield. When I do this I rarely need to use the wipers!
