Hello,

It's always a good idea to make sure the relay is functional before replacing the wiper motor.
The relay is located under hood fuse box (see picture).
Do a visual check for any corrosion or bunt pin(s). You can also test the relay as well:

The wiper motor is located on the left side of the air scoop/cowl.
In order to replace the motor you will have remove the air scoop by taking off all of those fasteners. Then you will have access to the motor and gear assembly.

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
