how do you replace a wiper motor in a 2000 jetta?
The non working wiper on the 2001 Century most likely has a broken wiper linkage. The linkage can be checked by removing the vehicles cowling.
To replace the linkage on the driver's side windshield wiper of a 2001 Ford Explorer XL, first, lift the wiper arm away from the windshield and remove the nut securing the wiper to the linkage using a socket wrench. Next, detach the wiper arm and remove the plastic cover from the base of the wiper assembly to access the linkage. Disconnect the linkage from the motor and the other components, then install the new linkage by reversing the process: connect it to the motor, secure it, and reattach the wiper arm and cover. Finally, test the wipers to ensure proper operation.
why is it after I hooked up the linkage for my wipers the wipers stay in the upright position after I turn them off.
Disconnected or broken control linkage? Bad wiper transmission?
Take it to a repair shop!

The 2001 VW Volkswagen Jetta takes 21" drivers and 19" passenger side wiper blades. See sources and related links below for more information. Since there are over 22 different wiper arm attachments, do not buy wipers just by length only. Be sure to lookup exact wiper blade part numbers by vehicle make, model and year for the brand wiper you decide to purchase. This ensures correct length AND correct attachment.
On a 2001 Chevrolet 1500, the wiper motor is located under the windshield cowl, near the base of the windshield on the driver's side. To access it, you may need to remove the cowl cover and possibly the windshield wiper arms. The motor is mounted to the firewall and is typically connected to the wiper linkage.
There'll be a linkage which connects the two wipers together... that may have come loose or gotten broken otherwise.
