Front wipers stopped working

[A4sport1]

Hi guys. Used wipers yesterday. Got progressively slower and then finally stopped, not quite in parked position. Motor did not smell as if burnt out. Have not looked properly, but in your experience, is this likely to be the motor gone or seized linkage ? Difficult job to do / access / diagnose. Many thanks

Take the linkage out and try it without the motor, or try the motor without the linkage by plugging the wiring back in and turning wipers on.

Ive replaced more on cars due to linkages than motors.
