Bench test the motor first,

If it works correctly, then we can move on to the wiring etc. Have you tried putting 12v directly to the washer motor? If it hasnt been used for a while, it mat be a little sticky.

There is an intermittent wiper module in your 81 . If that's burnt out, nothing works.

I found this and maybe you can duplicate it just to test your wipers.
