windshield wipers Options

[celicarocker]

ok my windshield wipers dont work... they did earlier.....

now.... the only thing i can think of, is (a little background story): i removed my winshield washer fluid resivoir becuase it was cracked to ****. so on the bottom, i had to pull out what im assuming is the pump for it, cuz it has wires coming off and stuff. so i just tuck that up. well im driving along today, and it drops down and smacks my tire a few times, and like cracks in half (ill post a pic tomorrow). so i just figured "screw it, the pumps broken, i just wont have washer fluid. so i tuck both ends up good this time and take off. later i try turning on my wipers, they dont work... will severing the connection on that thing cause them to stop? dont see why... and if so, can i just take the wires and connect them together and bypass the pump thing?
