Yep unplug it from the back, underneath the plastic cover.

Basically the motor is shot probably due to water ingress. Common problem. I wrote a guide to fix it but it will break down again. Either replace with a new wiper asm or remove the wiper asm and plug hole with grommet depending on how much you use the wiper.

Many thanks for reply Bowders1,........I felt it is a toss-up between motor and stalk!

No problem, they are around £69 new from dealers. They even go for over £40 second hand.
