Hi
What year ?
Try cleaning the relay pins.

has anything else stopped working like the heater blower and headlights?  if so wiggle the x-over relay #18.
if not as said what year is it, sounds like the wiper stalk has failed or the wires to it.  Take off the lower plastc shroud from the steering column, then push all the stalk plugs to make sure non have come loose.
