Is there a simple way of testing whether a rear wiper motor works by just connecting it direct to a 12v battery?
The motor has a 3pin and a 2pin connector attached to it. It has 2 wires into the 3pin connector - one from the relay, one from the switch, Another wire loops from this 3pin connector to the 2pin connector Another wire goes from this 2pin connector to earth

Not sure I follow what you are saying but if I do (this Aussie Chardonnay is great!) it sounds as if you may have a dual speed wiper motor that is wired to be single speed.
If it were mine, I would dismantle it and clean it before testing. Rear wipers don't generally wear out because they don't get enough work. But they do seize up through lack of work....
