It controls the speed – slow, fast, intermittent – everything you select up front. Modern ones often control the washer pump too, sending power to spray fluid when you want it. Some even have parking positions, so the wipers end up in a good spot when you turn the car off. It’s a pretty crucial part of keeping you safe. Think of it as the engine for your wipers. Without it, those wipers just aren’t going to move, and that’s a problem when it's raining or snowing, or even just when your windshield gets dirty.

Visibility. Plain and simple. If your wiper motor fails, you lose the ability to clear your windshield, and that dramatically reduces your ability to see while driving.
