    it is a bitch, I have done it twice.
    Ok you have to remove the vent by the Drivers Side wiper then remove the pannel at the back of the engine bay and the A/C fan and its housing, then you can get to the wiper linkage and motor, check to see if it has good conections and ground, and see if it runs without being attached to the linkage. If It doesnt get a new motor, If that d/n work then check the fuse (just kidding do that first)

      Check the fuse first, and then make sure you have power and ground at the motor.

            verify that the switch is working first before you pull the moter.
