2 speed wiper motors have three terminal plugins. I've seen two wire connectors on two of the terminals with a single wire connector on the third terminal. Kind of like the car could've come with a single speed or two speed but was wired/had wires for both.
If your's 'WERE' working and quit, look for a single wire that may have come un-plugged or fallen off.
Black wire with yellow stripe is the power wire to the wiper motor. It's hot whenever the ignition switch is on. The two other wires are for low and high speeds on the wipers. Grounding those wires is what makes the wiper motor run. The wiper switch is what completes the ground path.
Sounds like someone has changed the wiring around for some reason. Why, who knows.
Wiper motors have automatic functions built in. Like when washer is activated the wipers will run on low, and when the wiper switch is cut off the wipers will return to the park position by themselves.
Anyhow, wash function could've been messed up/stuck and finally wore out or broke. You should of heard it clicking with the wipers on if it was part of whatever was going on before.
It sounds like you're saying the wipers were working with a single wire plugged in. So is there a two wire plug still connected for the washer pump?
Undoing what's been done and putting wires back right will probably lead you to whatever the original problem was. THEN diagnosing and fixing should be easy. Wheather it was a problem with wiper motor itself, wash problem, wiper switch, or a short of somekind.
Before wipers quit, if the wipers didn't return to park on their own, the wiper motor may have lost it's ground.
Bunch of rambling there. Just with what information you've given, not sure what to say.
