Unplug the electrical connector at the wiper motor. Use a voltmeter to check for power and ground on the Pink and dark green wires. This setup has two relays: hi speed and low speed. If you're not getting power and ground with IGN switch on RUN and wipers turned on, then yank the relays and check for ground to the relay control coils provided by the body control module. The wiper switch acts as a signal to the BCM to provide ground to the relays. The switch doesn't actually switch power to the relays.
After you have removed the old wiper blade make sure to remove any adapter left behind on the actual wiper arm as the new blade should come with a multi use adapter.
It should just be a bare metal rounded hook bar now.
Now if there is not adapter on the new wiper blade then put the one provided on. Often times the wiper blade comes with this adapter already on the wiper blade.
Pull the wiper arm out a bit and set the new blade under the open section of the wiper arm.
That adapter will have a little play to it.
Push it up a bit so it fits in the slot on the wiper arm and pull up on the wiper blade and the blade should "click" into place.
Do the same for the other side and your good to go. I also recommend Raine X for your windshield. My experience as a mechanic and a storm chaser has proven Rain X to be invaluable in severe weather.

1) It is normal for the wipers, in rain sensor mode, to cycle once upon startup.
2) In rain sensor mode, the wipers should be intermittent with the
cycles increasing as the volume of moisture increases on the windshield.
The speed will increase until it reaches the continuous slow speed of
position 2 on the switch. It will not increase to the fastest speed
which is position 3 on the switch. You have to go to the fastest speed
by manually rotating the switch to postion 3. Doesn't seem like a design
flaw to me.
Take key out of ignition. Remove wiper arm,raise hood to fully upright position, remove cabin air inlet covers. remove wiper assembly, remove motor. Plug new motor in and make sure it is in park position before installing. Good Luck.
you should check the connection to the main board and the connections to the motor for the wipers. these sometimes become gunked up, so when you pull them apart to check them clean them with sand paper or something that can scrub them like a green scratch pad
lift the wiper arm all the way up and out from the windshiled. hold the arm so it doesnt slam back down and crack the glass. rotate/spin the whole wiper blade 90 degrees, counter clockwise, and then pull the blade straight back off the wiper arm. install the new one in the opposite order
change motor and fit a new one not a scrapyard one ,check spring tension on arm and try a smaller wiper blade .Keep the receipt for the new motor so you can claim waranty
the reason for your wiper speed change is due to the rain sensor which controls the speed of your wipers,determined by how much rain is comming down.the rain sensor is located behind your rear view mirror.
I also have the same problem and am reading up. This page is interesting if you want some advice: http://htdig.honestjohn.co.uk/forum/post/index.htm?f=4&t=36974
