Wiper motor dies in traffic....

[lukecp]

I was driving in the rain the other day and my wipers "overheated". It stoped raining for a few seconds, and they were on at the time, and they just died in the middle of my windshield. They work OK (besides they are slow as hell) when it is raining pretty steady, but the second the windshield gets half dry they die and won't work for a few minutes. I checked on a new motor at the parts store, and it is $49 for a "3-prong" and $56 for a "4-prong". The truck is a '72 Chevy C10. How do i get to the motor to see how many prongs it has, and how big of a pain is it gonna be to switch them out? Is there anything else besides the motor that could cause this?
