Matthew:
You can take it apart yourself. It's likely jammed, or one of the brushes is
out of position. I pulled mine down when it failed to function, cleaned it
up and put it back together. It's been running over a year now.
The great guys at NOWROC were nice enough to include a list post I did on
the operation as one of their tech tips. Did I mention they were great guys?
Anyway, here is the link:
http://www.nowroc.com/Webpages/Techtips/WiperRepair.htm
The picturetrail link there is a dead duck, but I did set up my own picture
site elsewhere.
One thing I failed to mention in the first post is that on the end of the
motor casing opposite the gearbox there is a metal plate with two or three
small screws. Be sure to mark this plate and the casing it attaches to
before you remove it. It is the wiper home/stop position switch. It can be
adjusted while the motor is in the car on a flat dash, but I don't know
about a late model. It was a pain to wrestle with on mine and I wish I had
scribed it when it was out.

Hi everyone,
Does anyone out there know of a place that rebuilds our wiper motors? Or
better yet, does anyone have a working used motor they would be willing to
sell? My local shop tested mine and told me that "they couldn't get it to
do anything". He did admit that he wasn't sure which wires were what since
he doesn't usually do foreign stuff. He used the black as ground and then
tried all the other wires individually and combinations of wires but to no
avail. They could send it out but it would cost around $190 to fix. Ouch!
I really can't spend that much on it.
Thanks,
Matt Peterson
