If the wiper motor runs, but the blades don't move, I'd suspect a gear broken/jammed in the wiper motor assembly.

Remove the actuator arm from the wiper blade arms, and trigger the motor. That should tell you whether it is the blade arms frozen in place, or the motor. Good luck

if u hear it moving, the threads which the wiper arms use to grip the motor is most likely the problem, i had the same problem, unscrew the arms, pull them off, take some teflon tape and put a layer on the metal that was holding the arm, and replace the arm, it should work. (if the thread was not damaged at all, than change the whole assembly.), its pretty easy, takes 30 mins if you know what your doing =)
