Windshield Wipers Won't Work

I have had my 2008 CS for a little less than 3 weeks. Awesome car- Better than I even thought that it was going to be, and I haven't even exceeded 4200 rpm yet.

For the first time, I decided to take a drive tonight in the rain- slight rain, with wet roads. I had just cleaned my Carrera Classic wheels (Dawn/water and they cleaned very easily). I tried to use the windshield wipers (I have the rain sensor option) and they worked intermittently for a couple of minutes and now they don't work at all. The headlight washers work and the spray works on the window if I want to clean the window, but the wipers do not clear the windows nor work in any position. I just read the manual and the operation of the windshield wipers appears to be straight forward. Any ideas?

I am not mechanically inclined, nor have any desire to troubleshoot the problem myself, so I am going to simply take it to the dealer and let them look at it. Perhaps, I am operating the wipers incorrectly, but I don't see how. I was just going to go for a ride in the car, which I find to be very relaxing, almost therapeutic in nature.

Perhaps it has something to do with a fuse, but even if it does, I would want to know why the fuse is not working. But then some of the functions work on the stalk and some don't.

Thanks for any possible insight.
