First verify the problem. They should ONLY work with the headlights on AND the windshield wipers on AND (I believe) the washer system activated.

he said they come on with headlights on, wipers on, AND your washer fluid... get someone to sit in your car, put the lights and wipers on, and hit the washer fuid, and see if they move...

Maybe, but doubtful. I find it hard to believe both motors went out at the same time. The challenge now is to bracket the problem. Is there power going to the motors?

You'll have to get a wiring diagram and figure out where the problem may be. I believe the system has a control module, and that module may have bit the dust.

So i should see if the control module is dirty or just loose somewhere?

Yes, that would be the quick thing to do before doing formal diagnostics.
