My front wipers started acting up recently, they would only work sometimes, and only on some settings, most reliably on high. They recently stopped completely though, and they won't work at all in any position. I got a new wiper motor to see if that would fix it, but it hasn't. I thought it was the MFS but I tested it and the continuity checks out fine, I can also hear the relay clicking when I turn the switch. I am out of ideas so any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I forgot to add that I can press in the end of the switch and wiper fluid sprays fine, the motor just won't come on.

Most likely the MFS switch or the connector to the MFS switch. It's often reported here that moving the steering column all the way down causes the connector to pull apart slightly. Good luck.
