Gary,
Sorry for the delay in responding - been cleaning up (still) after Matthew. Nothing major, just a lotta work.
As to the wiper motor, if you have 12V at the motor, first thing to check is the ground. These glass bodies just don't conduct electricity too well.
Lots of electrical gremlins in fiberglass cars are caused by corroded, loose or otherwise poor grounds.

It's probably more than you need, but the end page or two describes their wiring pretty thoroughly. If this one isn't applicable to your specific setup, look around the FF5 site some more.
Hope this helps,
