You've checked all of the obvious causes of a non-running wiper motor -- blown fuse, faulty wiper switch, etc. ...
Also - the wiper motor won't run if it has lost its ground connection - connect a jumper wire to the wiper motor case and a known "good" ground on the vehicle body. If the motor works, clean up the ground connection.
Maybe the linkage is binding? Check that, too. If the motor must be replaced:
1. With the hood up, disconnect the negative battery cable for safety and unplug the wiper motor's electrical connector. Then remove the three motor mount nuts.
2. Hood down. Remove the wiper arms. There's a release lever at the base of each arm that you pry out with a small screwdriver and then lift the arm off its post.
3. Remove the grille that fills the space between the back of the hood and the bottom of the windshield. Raise the hood to do this: the grille is held in place with screws, you may have to move the weatherstripping around to find all the screws. On my '92 Dakota I'd also have to disconnect the hoses to the windshield washer nozzles. When all of the screws are out the grille should lift up and off of the windshield weatherstrip.
4. You need two wrenches for this part: hold the wiper motor's drive crank with one wrench to keep it from turning and use the other wrench to remove the crank nut. Take off the crank and lift the motor out.
