Ok, so this may sound weird, but my wipers some how got binded up and stuck, so now I think that I need a new motor? Is there a way to test the motor or does anyone suggest a junkyard for one? We got it going for a second, but then it stoped again, HELP!

Before you blame the wiper motor, be sure that things are good electrically.
Check to make sure you haven't blown a fuse and that the relay is functioning (you'll probably be able to hear it click). Also check that your wiper switch on the steering console is functioning. With the car on, what happens when you pull the wiper arm on the steering console towards you? This should cause the wipers to cycle once. Do you hear a click from the relay. Do the wipers shudder at all.
Another thing you could do is pull the wiper arms off and see if the wiper motor will turn the geared wiper mounts without the mass of the wiper in place.
will try!
