no wipers new motor still no wipers

ok guys my wipers went out a while back and i was lazt so i really didnt care about it. SO yesterday i had some time and I went to work i checked the fuse it was good so then I guessed it was the motor. So i took it out and went to the local junk yard with motor in hand and i got a new used one. Went back to my house and put the new one in and guess what nothing. Now im guessing that it is the realy but the problem is i dont know where it is?

Have you checked the wiring starting at the switch connector on the right side of the steering column under the dash?

well i was wondering what if the new motor i got was shot. So i put jumped power from the batt to the power wire on the motor and it works. The thing is im getting no juice to the motor so i dont think it is the switch connector but i will check . Im thinking the problems is with a relay but i cant find it.

That's because there is no relay!! Now if the motor works when you jump power to it from the battery and it doesn't when you have it connected to the switch. Wouldn't that sort of imply that there is a problem either with the switch or with the wiring?
