What do you suggest I do?

Well, I would say check the relay and the actuator first. duh!

The actuator is the box the motor goes into. The motor is just the black cylinder-shaped thing on the end in that pic you posted.

You know, it's probably gonna be easier for you to just replace stuff. It gonna be complicated to explain it all.

Yeah I'm looking through for sale threads and part outs looking for wiper motors and actuators that are still in one piece together instead of just buying the motor or the actuator.
