Good luck (remember rated this post).
Testimonial: "Thanks !! Especially for the diagrams."
The wiper motor is located under the black cowl in the front. remove the cowl and follow the wiper arms till you hit the motor. Its not a hard job just tight in space.
It may sound pretty complicated, But the Escape happens to be one of the easiest out there, and fantastic for a beginner.
First place your floor mats on the windshield to protect it. Then lift the caps at the base of both wiper arms (mark them right and left) and remove them. (wiggle them a little bit while lifting). Take out the 8 plastic phillips head screws on the driver's half of the windshield cowling (the black plastic piece) and lift to remove. Unplug the wiper motor and remove the three 10mm bolts that hold the whole assembly in place. Lift out.
