Wipers stopped working the other day. Fuses OK.
If I supply power to the motor, the wipers work so it's not the motor.
I'm no electrician-- what is the next likely suspect? Relay? Switch in the steering column stalk?
Are these parts available anywhere?

Thanks for any advice!

The wiper relay "Wishwash" is above the hood release lever. The turn signal, wiper on-off & washer fluid reservoir motor stalk is likely OK.
Pushing turns the wipers on & is half speed/for mist or light rain. The center console left knob is wiper speed, first detent is Normal Speed, second detent is Fast Speed, this when the entire wiper arms may be lost. The spring clip, detent on the arm may weaken over time.
 
Keep in mind The relay mentioned above is a bit more complicated than a basic relay. There's a circuit board in the housing and they are prone to fail. It's the first place I'd look after checking for loose wires and connectors
