2000 VW jetta VR6 windshield wipers wont work

First try the fues box see if you have a blown fues, next if you put your wipers on can you hear the motor running for them? if you can the linkage has poped off from the motor, its a bit awkward to get it back on and no gaurentee that it will saty on, you might have to replace linkage, or, it might be the cogs on the actual wiper arms have splayed and are now smooth so they dont grip to move, you can take them off by the nut on the arm , get a can (coke can or simular) cut a rectangle out of it the hight and width if the cog, rap it round the cog, (make sure it does not overlap on the ends) and force the arm back into place and then do the nut up, this is just a short quick fix if that is the case you will have to replace the motor, also you can check the relay to the motor in the fues box, give it a tap a couple of times it might work again if not replace it...hope you find these sugestions helpful

CHECK WIPERS FUSE.IF FUSE GOOD. CHECK FOR POWER TO WIPER MOTOR IF YES WIPER MOTOR BAD IF NO POWER TO WIPER MOTOR THE SWITCH IS BAD OR LOOK FOR A LOOSE OR BROKEN WIRES.
