When the hurricane was going on, I moved my car like 100 yards with the wipers on. Then they just locked and stopped working.

Ok so my motor works but the linkage seems to have come disconnected. If I pull the motor out, will I be able to access the linkage or is there another access panel I have to remove? Kinda in a hurry cause it's about to rain lol. Thanks in advance.

Well if both of the wipers stopped working, the arm could be disconnected from two spots:
1) the motor itself
2) at the middle, IIRC its the arm assist assembly.

But turn your wipers on and go out, look through the black plastic piece that covers the assembly. If the arm on the passenger side is moving then it got disconnected from the middle and your gonna have take the whole black plastic piece covering off! If not then just the motor itself.
