I replaced the wiper motor and there is no power to the motor. The fuse is good and the whole blinker arm that works the works everything but the wipers.

Sounds as if the wiper switch may be a fault. Are you able to test the circuit through the switch with a multi meter?

There are two wiper relays that I would check because I think that is your problem.

Here is a guide and some wiring guides to help you do some easy testing/replacing:

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken
