Default windshield wipers ain't working....electrical prob

they're not working and I really need em!
I started by going to Kragens first. The guy, Steve, at kragens went out with me and checked the fuses underneath the driver side dash. Things look good.
He then went to the fuse box underneath the hood and everything looked good. SO he concluded that it was the windshield wiper switch. this...


I installed it and NOTHING! still no action.
I started looking around and unscrewed some things to find the wipers motor. I found a loose wire and well check out the pics....



idk what to do next and I would like to do this the cheapest way possible by not going to a mechanic... any input would be appreciated

picture 2:idk what those two wires pertain to; the green and black wire.

picture1:
And the other is the motor for the wipers. Reason why I took those pictures was to show that the green/black wires come from the motor....
sorry for not being clear enough.

The wipers haven't worked for like two years. And because of being lazy, id just drive my nissan and not worry about wipers, however that's not the case anymore. When I flip the switch as to turning the wipers on, no sound is heard. Which I've heard indicates electrical failure(not sure). Can those green wires be the problem?
