Over a period of several months, my windshield wiper began making more and more noise until it slowly ground to a halt. Actually, the last part occurred fairly frequently. The wiper speed continued to decrease until one day, I found myself without wipers that move any longer, in Portland, OR, no less. As there is no noise at all coming from the motor any longer, and the horn still works (implying that the fuse did not blow) I figure that the motor is probably seized at this point, and can either be disassembled and fixed or should simply be replaced. Any ideas as to how to isolate the motor as the spot of failure rather than a bad connection somewhere? I took out the glovebox and now have access to the motor, so I should be able to validate that I'm getting juice at the motor, if I knew where to look (hint, hint).

Thanks, in advance, for some assistance,
