one wire will be power one wire will low speed wiper and one wire will be high speed wiper.you need to check the grounding of the wiper motor.if you take a jumper wire and attach one end to the battery, or a good ground at the motor or somewhere and the other end then make good contact to the body of the wiper motor and it should work,if it does then you need to permantly hook up a ground wire to the wiper motor.this was a common problem.
