Wiper Problems: No Intermittent, No Spray, No Park...

Last year I started with my power window conversion and I wanted it to all be plug and play so I pulled everything out of the donor car including the wire harness as my car didn't have the wires for windows. I realized they didn't plug into my fuse box so I took the fuse panel out of the donor car as well and put it into my car. I unhooked all the wires going into my fuse box, pulled it out, then hooked up some wires to the new fuse box but realized it's from a different year so not all my car's wiring would plug into it. Then I had to unplug everything again and swap back to my original fuse box.

So in the midst of this, since then my wipers haven't functioned properly. When I pull them towards me for spray, nothing happens. When I click down 1, nothing happens. If I push all the way up or use settings 2/3, they work fine except when I turn them off they stop right where they were, no park function.

I've already swapped out the switch and that didn't fix anything so reading suggests it could be the multiplex control unit (MCU) but if that died it would apparently take out my air conditioning and a bunch of other things that still work. More reading suggests it could be a small relay somewhere but I'm not exactly sure where.

Any suggestions?

I just dropped the fuse box again and found a harness on the top left that just wasn't plugged in. Wow, that fixed everything, no more problems.
