Subject:Rear window wiper help...

There I was, stuck in traffic, snow falling to beat the band, and a
friendly officer of the law pulls up next to me, rolls down his window and
yells for me to clean up my rear window before I ticket you.
(Hmmmph.  He didn't yell at the Civic two cars in front that didn't appear
to have cleaned ANY of the snow off their car.  Was it my bus?)
Anyway, I hit the wiper switch, and...nothing.  Drove the rest of the way
to work, uneventfully, and checked the fuse when I arrived.  Intact.
Q:  Do the rear wiper motors on Vanagons go belly up?  If so, are they
relatively easy to replace?  Anyone got a spare they'd like to sell, should
the need arise?
