2005 Hyundai Tuscon Wiper motor

Engine Mechanical problem
2005 Hyundai Tuscon 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic 70,000 miles

My wipers just stopped working the other day. I checked the fuse and it was ok, so i am assuming that it is the wiper motor. How do I get to the motor and where can I get a replacement. Thanks.

PS: I could be wrong and if I am please correct me.

may want to check your wiper switch for continuity. if switch is OK then suspect faulty wiper motor. you can find a replacement at your local dealer or try local salvage yards, eBay.com and even Craigslist.com for a used one. Would you still like replacement procedures for the wiper motor?

I still think that it is the wiper motor. After reading some more on the internet i came upon a posting that told me to try moving the wipers with my hand while the wipers were on. When I tried this I heard the wiper motor either grinding or moaning I am not sure. Please tell what you think. Thanks

PS :Please post how to change the motor if you think that this is it.
