Hello to all and thanks for all the great replies, advice, knowledge, etc.

My current problem is the windshield wiper motor(front).
My original one was acting weird for quite a while. It seemed to have alot of resistance and made noise also. About a week ago it pretty much stopped completely and worked every now and then, but rarely.

I got a different one off the internet and recently installed it. Well, there was some serious disappointment when it didn't work.

SO, at this point I don't know if either this "replacement" motor is bad also or if there is an issue with the wiring going to the motor. I checked for continuity at the connector unit with the car on and the wiper switch in the on position and nothing happening. It might have been because I had a continuity tester for housing electrics with high voltages. But, I would think the motor would need some serious juice to move the wiper arms.

Either way, if anyone has an idea about my problem, I'm all ears.
