Ed,
As I was pointed to it when I had trouble...check out
http://www.vtr.org/maintain/wiper-motor/ for some guidance.
I ended up having to replace my wiper motor due to bad brushes in the
motor itself. But I could narrow it down a bit by noticing the heat
coming from the motor when on.
I actually have my "column cluster" all apart for the horn/dimmer/turn
signal replacement (turned rebuild - not fun - old wire connectors)
Will follow up later with wiring info..
