The wipers just stopped working completely (no sound). Do I bother looking for other causes (wiring, etc.) or just replace it and see? And how do I know what to replace? Dealer part price is really high, so I would look at a used part just to keep going for a while.

Easy swap (for a novice)?

appreciate any advice/suggestions.
