Hi,
Have you checked that the fuse is OK? Try fuse #24
See images for location. Click on images to enlarge for better viewing.
If the fuse is faulty, be aware that there is always a reason that a fuse blows. It may be fatigue, where the fuse breaks due to vibration over a long period of time, but if there is not much of the fuse left (or if a replacement fuse blows when you operate the wiper switch) then most likely there is a fault in the equipment that it supplies (in your case the wiper motor or even the washer pump, as it supplies both) causing excessive current to flow through the fuse and burn it out.
If the fuse is OK you need to find out if power is being supplied to the wiper motor (or washer pump) when the switch is operated and if not trace it back from the motor (or pump) to the appropriate switch.

Hi @Roxanne Sanchez
You may have to check that the wiper linkages that connect the wiper motor to the wiper blades are OK.
Here's a 2002 VW Jetta wiper linkage replacement video that may help.
If it isn't the correct year model etc, search YouTube for "(insert year, make and model of car) wiper linkage replacement" to hopefully find a more suitable video that will help you.
