Default 71 wipers wonn't go, door opens

The door opens and the wipers will not go. I know there is a sequence to follow when you have opened the wiper door manualy, what is it??

OK - I'll be the first to suggest that you look at the switches and valves under the steering column. Are they on?

Working the door manually shouldn't make a difference....

Turn the big black round **** under the dash. That is the manual wiper switch. Shut it off before closing the wiper door, otherwise you may pinch the wiper arms in the door.

If none of the above work another possible thing to look at is the limit switch. Make sure that the limit switch is adjusted properly so that is closes when the door is open.
