Question:

Is the motor for the windshield wiper suppose to move or does it lock?

its for a 1983 chevy blazer and the windshield wipers do not work and I don't know if it's the motor or somthing else? please help!?

Answer:

If it's locked up for some reason, it's not normal. Definitely take it in, sounds like a motor issue to me.
26 Years Old. Should not Move because of the way it's mounted but Turn/Rotate when turned off Yes. If your wiper motor is locked up it's Bad, if Rotates but not working running a jumper to the motor to see if it's still good.
The motor should be mounted directly to the firewall of the vehicle and should not move when the wipers are turned on. When you turn the wiper switch on, do you hear the motor trying to move the wipers? If not, you may have something as simple as a blown fuse. If the fuse is OK, but you still don't hear anything when the switch is turned on, then the controller board for the wiper motor may be shot.
