Jon,

2 quick checks, but you'll need a voltmeter

1.  Turn the ignintion key to run, turn the wiper switch to on, and 
then check the
pins on the connector to the motor for 12V.  If you have 12V on any 
of the pins,
then I'd suspect the ground.

2. Try using a piece of wire from the base of the motor (connect to any nut,
screw) on the motor and a good ground.  There is a ground wire on the 
bottom of
the mounting plate that can quit conducting.

If this doesn't work, then you'll have to trouble shoot the switch on 
the dash and
the motor itself.
