Default Rear Wiper Click and Spray but no Wipe?

Hey guys my rear wiper isn't working properly and wanted to know if I have to invest in whole new motor or something. So when I press the button I hear a click, It happens every time i push the button. When I push all the way the spray comes out but it still does not wipe. Does anyone know the answer to this? Thanks!

It's your motor, they went designed to well and let water in, after awhile they seize. I would suggest a new one after my own personal experience at the jy, I've gotten 3 different motors and they are all seized

I loosened mine up with PB Blaster, you don't have to buy new unless you can't hear the motor humming.

Check the connection at the motor itself. If you are getting power then it's definately the motor. Most likely thats the problem anyway but this tells you for sure.

When you say humming are you talking about the relay clicking? And where did you spray the on at? Pics would be helpful
