Because many cars and trucks use one motor for both wipers, it is likely that this motor has failed, or is disconnected, or has blown the fuse for its circuit.
Check the fuse first. If this is replaced and again blows, you have a wiring problem or a bad switch. Check the wiring for an open circuit (bad wire). You can try to directly operate the motor to see if it has burned out. If the fuse is okay, and the motor works, the fault is in the switch control. Modern switches are complex and have multiple speed and time delay circuits. Any of these might be disabling or shorting the circuit.
Consulting a qualified mechanic who has an electronic diagnostic tool could save you time and effort.

Why do your windshield wipers work if you push the lever down but not when you turn on?
If the windshield wipers work when pushing the lever down but not when they are turned on all the time, the problem could be in the wiper motor relay switch. There are two different relay switches for the windshield wipers, so that if the one fails a person can still clear the windshield manually.
