If you were able to wiggle the wiper motor, then either the bolts retaining the wiper assembly to the body are loose, or more likely, the 3 wiper motor mount rubber bushings have deteriorated.

In either case, the lack of a ground supply for the wiper motor maybe actually be your problem.

The wiper motor gets it's ground from a ground strap and if you still have the original wiper assembly, the ground strap is attached to 1 of the 3 mounting bolts that hold the wiper motor to the wiper assembly and if the grommets go bad the ground connection becomes loose. On earlier wiper motors, the ground strap is attached to 1 of the cover screws on the back of the wiper motor.
