If your wiper motor appears to be operating and the blades stop, It might be
that the shaft is slipping in its "clutch-like" attachment device at the
wiper arm. Look at the wiper arm carefully when the thing stops-- you may
see the shaft still doing it's back and forth turning. This is a peculiar
piece of engineering and staring at it for awhile will reveal the secrets of
its logic. You can then try something to make the fit tighter and see if
that does the trick.
