So been pretty busy past couple of days so i haven't gotten the chance to poke around with this issue figured id post it up maybe someone can just tell me what it is so when i get time i can fix it.
Every couple of days my wipers and sprayer wont work at all. When i try to use them i just hear this buzzing noise. When it first did it i didnt notice the sprayer wasnt working as i was just trying to use the wipers. Anyway as my post title lol im refering to them as just being lazy currently as if i turn the wipers on the buzzing noise will start if i give the wiper arm a light tug they start working along with the sprayer. Id go ahead and just replace the motor as ive had vehicles do this before but usually the sprayer will still work just not the wipers. Im assuming either the sprayer is tied into the wiper motor assembly somehow and wont work if the wipers aren't moving or there is a control module somewhere that isnt functioning correctly.

There's a module attached to the wiper motor. It's held on by 3 torque screws. Once you unplug it and take the screws off it slides right off. I replaced mine. My wiper fluid wouldn't spray and my wipers sometimes worked. I picked it up at autozone for like $22. It took me like 10 minutes. The whole assembly (motor and module) was like $53. Hope this helps!
