1984 Wipers not working
Hey guys!
I've got my Vette running and Driving again thanks to the forum.
Now, to be able to drive in the rain.
The wipers haven't worked since I bought the car.
I replaced the motor....nothing
replaced the circuit board......nothing
I have voltage to the motor via the two three pin plugs into the cover and divers side of the motor.
I can push the washer and the fluid prays....
I connected a ground wire from the screw/ground mount on the passenger side of the motor, directly to the neg of the battery, and the wiper moved a few inches up the windshield, then stopped.
So far, that's all I have.
Where do I go from here?
What connections should I be checking for voltage?

Well, I have wipers! 
I used a copy of the GM service manual, and all functions of the switch were spot on.
I decided to take the motor out and take it back for another when I decided to try running it without the linkage on.
Worked fine!
What ended up happening the wiper linkage was in a bind.
I corrected the position of the linkage arms, and they work great!
