    05 Freightliner Classic wipers not working. Does it have a relay or fuse for the wipers? If not, then I'm thinking it might be the motor that's bad or bad ground. I tested it with and without the rotary switch and it still doesn't come on.

    Probably the motor. There is a circuit breaker for it in center console but I am not sure which one it is. If you have a test light just run down them all. Get some RainX and replace the motor ASAP. I think they run around 100.00 You can look under hood to make sure nothing has it bound. If you don't have side cans for air filters sometimes the arm gets hung up on the air cleaner.

    I don't see anything in the center panel or where the relays are that says windshield/wipers so I guess it doesn't have one. I just wanted to make sure if it had one or not to check it out but I guess I might have to buy the motor. Thanks

    When the wipers quit working on my 07 i checked for power at the motor and i got nothing, i worked my way back from there and it turned out it was the switch, the dealer wanted something like $100 for a new switch, I always suggest original parts but thats just too much got one online for $40 good so far, good luck with the fix.
