The motor is located up under the dash next to the pedal hanger. Find the connection between the wiper motor harness and the main harness and disconnect it. There is a procedure in the manual about where to apply 12v to determine whether or not its working.

i'll check what I have in the manual. might be able to scan something.
But as gjz says, disconnect the cable attached to the wiper motor and clean both sides. then try again.

I had all sorts of issues with mine and it was just a bad connection there.
