Default windshield wiper problem

I'm working on a 72 with windshield wiper problems. When you push and hold the windshield washer button everything works perfect, but that's the only time they function.

I checked power at the wiper motor, it's fine. The wiper override **** works properly. The switch has been disassembled and cleaned and it works. It has high and low speed when you hold the washer button in.
but the wipers still won't work normally.

Does anyone have any ideas what is wrong and how to fix it?

Thanks.

Check the ground to the center gage cluster.
