Sweet! A rear wiper motor!
I was on the fence about fixing my rear wiper. It's been dead since I bought the car ('95) but Gamble came through with one for a price I could not pass up. The last guy I talked to on partstrader.com wanted about $90, I thought it was insane.
I still haven't opened the box so I hope it's what I wanted

Are you sure your getting power back there, i've ran into that problem before, the sprayer and the wiper would work sometimes then eventually not at all.

its usually the wiring that is at fault ... there is a spot that flexes and breaks when you open/close the rear hatch ... 5 minutes with a soldering iron and heatshrink fixed mine a treat.

I fixed mine myself as well. I simply took the contacts off the strut and used DC quick disconnect plugs instead with coil wires similar to the rear defroster wires so theres plenty of slack to open the hatch. My Dads also had problems inside with the gear mechanisim (bad gasket and rust 
), but on the other two I fixed, it was just wiring problems.
