Wiper motor just stopped working. Before it stopped I noticed a wierd sound from the wiper motor, like a grinding sound. Not sure if it's the switch or if the motor just died on me? Are these wiper motors usually loud in these cars or was mine just dying?

 

They are loud when they are Dying.

I always check fuses first. Then you can check for power at the motor.

If all that is good to go then yep it is the motor. Time to go to the JY for a new, old one.
