Better details please. When you say pull the wipers up. Do you mean rotate them on the windshield? Or pull the up from the windshield like to replace them.
Have you checked the fuses? First place to start. Then you're probably going to need a multimeter to proceed from there. No what to know if an electrical part is bad without testing it first. Might be as simple as a broken wire going to the wiper motor and replacing the switch will just waste your time and money.

How did you verify that fuses and wires are good?
A multi-meter is cheaper than motor and switch. Did you get one and use it as thefishguy suggested^^^
Better english would help, too.
