How to multimeter test wiper motor?

Hi from New Zealand,

The wipers on my '65 Cutlass are not working and may have stopped working after I had been doing a bit of electrical work. I have metered the circuit and get a switched 10 volts across the earth strap attached to the motor and the single incoming positive wire. As it doesn't look like a wiring fault I want to check the motor itself.When I meter the motor I get an open circuit, shouldn't I be able to pick up the load from the windings or not?
If so what sort of reading should I expect? I have been searching all over the net but nobody advises on test loads on the motors themselves.Very frustrating! Thanks in advance for any help on this,
