Year vette always helps ... from the sound of it if the motor was frozen wouldn't that blow a fuse? Did you check your fuses?

golfpro;
you need to isolate the problem. It could be the switch, corroded connection on switch or motor leads, bad motor (open or shorted) or maybe just jammed gears. Was the wiper working and stopped working in use or was it just suddenly inop one rainy day?
