Did you yourself change the wiper motor? I assume you checked the linkage?

What made you think it was the motor?

Could it be the fuse?

rossit

all the fuses fine

Does the motor turn when you switch the wipers on? Can yoi hear a whirring sound?

rossit

no sound or front wiper back wiper working off of same switch

do you have a multimeter? are you getting voltage out at the motor. You are kind of pissing in the wind if you can't establish that. It's the first port of call

Swap fuse for wiper motor with another fuse of same rating, just to be sure.

Aye, check the power and the earth.

No power = fuses, relay, wire broken, switch not working
No earth = bad connection to the body some where

If you have both it's on the other side of the wire plug.

check if it moves free, could be seized up (take apart greese/wd40)
doulbe check the motor works
