Electrical problem
1993 Ford Explorer 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Manual

Turned on my wipers when they had snow on them they went half way up then stoped. I changed the fuse but had no results. I want to check the continuity of the wiper motor to see if that is burned out or if there is another problem. What do you suggest?
