Default W/S Wiper Switch

1963 new harness install....I think I have solved all my problems but one. My windshield wiper switch/wiper motor is not working. I pulled the connectors off the back of the switch and am not getting any voltage reading anywhere with the key on.

Where to start? What is upstream from the red power wire?

The switch only provides a path to ground, power is supplied directly to the wiper motor via the brown wire.

Thanks. That was what I was looking for.

Wiper worked before so I think it is either switch or what I have been chasing all over is bad ground.

I'll check that I have 12v at the brown wire at the motor. I had to replace the ground tab on the motor so maybe that is the source of the issue.
