Like the title says, I have a 1978 F150, and I'm having a small issue with the wipers. Seems like the knob works as it should, the wiper moved back and forth. However when I push the button to wash them, nothing happens and yes there is liquid in the resevoir. It doesnt even make a sound. I'm new to this old of a vehicle, so bear with me.
Thanks

Sounds like the pump that shoots the water out is broken.

I think you're right. I had power at the plug on the bottom of the resevoir. I'll just swap it out when I find one locally.
Thanks again

Is that one of the pumps that is attched to the resevoir? If I remember right those can be replaced seperately without chucking the whole thing.
