Default Windshield wiper problem

So my wipers stopped working. They will work if I use the washer but wont even turn on if I turn on the wipers alone. Anyone else have this problem? Fuse is fine, switch could be broken, haven't checked the motors. I would guess it's the motors. Input?

Sounds like the wiper switch. Otherwise you would still have low speed wipers.

where can i get a new switch and are they hard to install? I start school again in a week so I don't have a ton of time and energy to get this done. I heard they are like 250 from the dealer and i saw one on autozone online for like 80 (but their stuff doesn't fit right sometimes) and if they are the same, I wonder which one im getting... hmm...

They aren't too hard to do, but you might want to make sure that it is the problem first before you start throwing parts at it. I always get the GM part, but that's me.

yeah it's going into the dealer tomorrow. If it's a ton of money and the switch is the problem, I'll just do it myself. If it's not too much, they can take care of it. I'll post what the problem is once it gets fixed.
