wipers went ka-puut

I just had a complete wiper motor and switch set installed about 3 months ago as the p-o removed the old ones. They were used from a wrecking yard and installed by a reputable bug shop.



the wipers worked great for a while then quit working without any indication of pending failure.



what is the best way to check to see if the switch is bad or if the motor is bad??



any help greatly appreciated.



TIA

Check the fuse first. Even if the fuse looks good, replace it and clean the holder contacts. The wiper wiring is on my web site.
