If the darkgreen is dead, that means you have a power problem. If you look at the diagram in the link, the darkgreen leads directly to the fuse box and a 30 amp fuse for the wiper motor system. It says it's fuse #2.

When you turn the key to run or accessory position, the testlight should light up when testing the darkgreen wire. Sounds like you have power. This does not mean the motor is good.

Take a wire and hook one end to the battery +, and hook the other end to the white wire going into the motor. See if the motor will run.

See if you can stuff the white wire into the back of the plug while it's plugged into the motor.

Since you have another motor coming, you can wait and see if that works.
