Where do i find the motor for the rear wiper on a ford ka?

The rear windscreen wiper on my car is not working. Checked the fuses (all fine) so am assuming it's the wiper motor?! I happen to be a girl and this happens to be my first car! :) and i just happen to be the DIY type not to mention fond of saving money!
Please help?

You will likely find the wiper motor very close to the wiper blade and hidden behind a panel. Open the back door and take off the panel if you must but I suspect that the problem is more likely to be the switch that operates the wiper. The switch is cheaper and easier to replace than the motor and about twenty times more likely to be at fault - next open circuit wire and last of all the motor.

The motor is right behind the wiper arm in the boot.
