This is a 1997 Chevy Astro Van. New, never been titled, with 600 actual miles. The wind Shield wipers won't work. Front or rear.
Could this be a problem in the electrical board? Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

There was a recall on wiper motor (resistor something inside them) in around that year.

Perhaps just stuck from lack of use and a love tap with a plastic hammer would jog it into working,

Yup - forgot just what was the fix. Just one happened back when to a 96 just off regular warranty and I replaced entire motor - later GM paid for the whole thing!

I believe it was some circuit board you might be able to replace with the thing in place - not sure?? Good luck with it,
