The wiper motor is very easy to repair and the motor is the same as those found on many British cars of the era. I suggest you pull it out and dismantle it and see what is the problem. It is not possible to say why it may have burned or what, but once you are inside you will see the workings are pretty basic and even the armature is replaceable with, for example Morris parts.

To give you an idea, the brushes on mine have worn out previously so I pulled the motor apart and shaped new brushes with a razor blade from similarly shaped brushes that cost about $1.50. Since mine is a series III motor I have two brushes, one for normal speed and one for high speed.

The is not entirely true for the earlier single motor wiper motors. There is limited inter change with other models. Parts are also scarce with parts motors going for 50 or so...
