Wiper motor bad?

In my 97 EX (D16Y8), the wipers do not work on intermittent nor on the first speed, but it does on the second (high) speed....but is quirky at that, too.

If I pull up for immediate one time wiping, the wipers will stop wherever once I release that lever. Same as when I run it on full speed setting (since low speed does not work), I have to time turning the lever off or it will stop wherever I do turn that lever off.

Is this a bad wiper motor? Relay? If motor, where is it located and how can it be accessed. My sons old 96 Chev1500 had a bad wiper motor and took 10 minutes to change (right under hood at firewall....

Please don't tell me its a task similiar to replacing a pcv valve; tedious for a seemingly normal maintenance item
