Should be going over the pond Wednesday so strapped the bike on back and give it a dummy run-raining so turned wipers on---nothing .Wipers trying to work but looks like motor seized(getting hot )-water behind that bloo---- skuttle again!Looking for local w/motor will take old one off if it stops raining-try to free it off and cover to stop water getting on it.Any one changed a wiper motor on 2007 Relay?

I'm really sorry for you .. but a part of me is soooo relieved.. it's usually ME that things like this happen to.

I know I'm an optimist BUT.
Turn on the wipers, grab the arms, and give the motor a "sharp bang" ! ! !
Nothing to lose ! ! !
(It HAS worked for me in the past)
Good luck with your trip anyway.
Mitch.

Ooooops, should have looked before I pressed go.
Make sure you mark the position of the wipers before stripping.
And after you have removed the both wiper arm nuts, give each spline a squirt of WD40.
The rest of the job is just logic.
Good luck mate.
Mitch.
I dont suppose the sun has "welded" the blades to the screen ??

No but it could be the mechanical bits disconnect from motor and make sure that works by hand then while it's disconnect.
Test the motor

I agree with Bill.
Could be a seized spindle or part of the linkage rather than the actual motor.
