Any idea what else he can check the wipers still wont work and he tested the voltage coming out of the pig tail to motor & is getting 12 volts, but noticed wiper motor when pluged in sparked occured off wiper motor when contacted metal on engine. do you think he needs to buy a brand new motor the two he tried one was rebuilt from a junk yard , both were from a junk yard. Thank you for any help Mrs. Janice Summers

junk yard is never a good idea.

yes, get a new one, and check the fuse as the spark may have blown the fuse.
