Why would unplugging and then reconnecting a LAN to a DSL modem make an Internet connection work again?

It's not that it makes the internet respond, it makes your DSL modem respond. Occasionally DSL and Cable modems will become unresponsive for whatever reason. Disconnecting and reconnting the Internet connection cable is one way to "wake up" the modem. Often that doesn't work and you have to reboot the computer or power-cycle the modem. Annoying but sometimes necessary. The way my ISP, who gave me my DSL modem to use, explained it is that, like a computer, every now and then, the modem just needs to be reset or rebooted, much like your computer

Why would the rear window washer and wiper not work on a 2001 Grand Caravan when the fuse is good and there is power to the dash switches?
I found a fix for this...Unplugging the negative battery cable for 15 minutes then reconnecting it did the trick. They both started working again. I read that it had to do with the BCM needing to be reset by killing power to it.
