one thing to check, which I discovered yesterday while working on a
friends van, is the fit of the fuses in the slot. We found it to be a
good fuse, but it was making only intermittent contact so that after I
worked on his fuse panel, adding new wires, the wipers would not work.
Took a few puzzled minutes until I swapped in a different fuse and the
wipers worked.

long shot but worth a try. wiggle the fuses while things turned on.
