#1 Windscreen wiper only swept once then stpped

I have just replaced my windscreen wiper motor. On switching on it swept the screen once and then stopped. Now it doesn't work at all. Totally baffled on this. The rack move Ok manually.

I check that. Power is still there on the green cable.

Sorted this eventually. Firstly the wiring diagrams didn't match what I had so there was a lot of trial and error involved.. Secondly, the motor was shipped with the armature locked. Once I backed adjustment screw off a little everything worked.
