I would start by checking fuses. If you've checked already, then the windshield washer pump has probably gone bad. The wiper motor and washer pump should be separate units. Typically the washer pump is located in the base of the washer fluid reservoir.
The 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan has the most common hook-end wiper arms. See related links below for installation videos.Also, purchase the replacement blades first and there will be additional instructions/illustrations on the replacement packages. Locate and press the tab or button where the wiper blade is inserted into the hook of the wiper arm and pull wiper blade out of hook. You may have to rotate and flex the blade to make enough clearance for the hook to pass through.
First of all, try to warm up the car to above 32 deg. F so that any ice may melt in the pump. Check that you have -20 deg. F windshield wiper fluid vs. the 32 deg. F fluid for the summer. Flush out any summer windshield wiper fluid. This will help to get it ready for winter which is already in full force.
If you still can't hear the pump humming or spinning, then try to replace the pump which is located in the plastic tank in most cases.
The fuse usually will not blow on the windshield wiper pump in my experience.
The pump either is frozen with water or is burnt out.
usually they are located on outside of windshield on bottom of the outer windshield moldings must remove to see wiper motor hidden under black moldings with pop buttons
There are no adjustments on the wipers. The arms come off to realign. Pop the wiper arm cap off with a very small flathead screwdriver theres a liitle opening slot to do this. Remove the nut. Pull wiper off straight, use pulley if needed. If the tenson is gone in the wiper arm replace. The springs go bad in the rear arm from dirt.
