If just one stopped working, it's probably a loose nut where the arm attaches (most common), or the cable between the arms broke under the dash (less common). If they both stopped working it could be the motor. Often the motors need an auxiliary ground wire to work, but they also just fail. Check to make sure it's getting power when the wipers are switched on (with the key on). There should be constant power, ground, and switch power to a different wire for each speed.
