The wiper motor is controlled by the GEM module - generic electronic control module ! The GEM gets a small voltage input from the wiper switch then the GEM controls two relays in the battery junction box , windshield wiper on/ off relay an the windshield wiper high / low relay !
The front wiper/washer feature controls the speed of the front windshield wipers and the amount of washer fluid sprayed on the front windshield when requested by the customer. There are five (5) wiper modes: OFF, LOW, HIGH, INTERVAL, and WASH.
Wiper Motor Speeds HIGH and LOW There are two wiper speeds, HIGH and LOW. When the GEM detects the ignition switch circuits are in the RUN or ACC states, and the GEM detects a high or low speed request from the wiper mode circuits, the GEM will activate the wiper ON and OFF and the wiper speed circuits accordingly
Also the wiper system can set DTC'S in the GEM , should take an have it scanned with a up scale scan tool , could make it easier to fix !
B1431 Wiper Brake/Run Relay Circuit Failure GEM GO to Pinpoint Test B .
B1431 code is just one of 16 possible

Defective switch or wiring between switch and motor. The 1 wire that does have voltage is for the park function. I would pull the switch and test for voltages going into the switch, with ignition switch on, then turn the wiper switch on and see if you have any voltages coming out.
