AZ Desert,
As you probably know the orange wire work all the dash lights and if that's hot and your grounds are good you might have a crack in the circuit board. The wipers I would guess is at the switch or bulk head connector.

Dash lights might be a dirty or bad rheostat on the dimmer switch. Try turning the switch up and down a few times before you do anything else. Check voltage going to the switch next.
