Default Rear wiper motor or switch?

So I push the switch to run my rear wiper blade and it makes noise back there like it would like to go, but just cant. Is this more often the motor or the switch? I suppose i could fairly easily go buy a new motor plug it in and see if she spins if not take it back but thought id ask first.

mine does the exact same thing. I just went to the local Pick-a-Part and found a motor for $10 so I couldn't pass it up. I'm gonna switch it out today so I'll let you know the results.

i had the same problem, push your switch in, see if it squirts washer fluid. Mine did so i assumed it was the motor. went to the local yard and got one for $1 and sure enough it works just fine
