Windshield wipers stopped working. Fuse is good. There is voltage on the center two pins of plug when switch is on but not on the outside two pins. I plugged in a new mortor and it didn't work either. (Motor was not installed. So not grounded?)
Is this likely a switch issue?
I need advice on properly checking the voltage at the plug so that I can narrow it down to the switch or the motor.

Hi:
When you were checking for power, when you shut the switch off, did it shut the power at the connector? Also, when you were checking power to the connector, was there a drop in voltage when the switch was changed from hi to low speed? If both of these things occurred, the switch is good. What I would try is to ground the new motor and try it again. That is most likely your problem.
