Default 2002 Ram 1500 van wipers not working

The wipers quit working on the above named vehicle a few days ago and I'm still tracking down a solution. Checked fuse- OK. Swapped motor out- not the problem. Found the intermittent wiper module behind glove box but haven't replaced it yet, though the only clicking sound I hear when I turn the switch on is at that box, so I'm suspicious. Auto parts store lists a pulse wiper relay but i don't see anything that refers to this on the relay diagram. Any and all help is most appreciated. Thanks

I have the same problem although it's been too cold to troubleshoot. I also hear the relay clicking when I turn the switch. I have read other posts here about this and other electrical problems and it may be a corroded connector or a bad ground. That's what I'll be looking for when I work on mine Thursday.

Unplug the wiring at the motor and check for power and ground with the switch and key turned on. A relay can trip on yet the contacts be dirty and not allow the current to pass through it.
