Windshield Wipers & Washer Not Working

Hello everyone,

I recently acquired a 1986 Carrera Targa and have been learning so much from reading the articles and posts on Pelican Parts you all have written! I tried searching within the technical forum to find out why the front windshield wipers and washer fluid functions are not working on the vehicle but have been unsuccessful so far. As a heads up, I believe a former owner reversed the wipers so that they rest on the passenger side of the window.

I read that the cigarette lighter may be electrically connected with the front windshield wiper so I depressed the lighter and confirmed that is working properly. I tested both the headlight cleaners (when the headlights are on) and the rear windshield wiper and they work great. When I raise the wiper stalk counterclockwise from position 0 to 1, 1 to 2 and 2 to 3, I can hear the motor getting progressively louder but the wipers don't move when in any of the positions. When I pull the stalk towards the steering wheel to release the washer fluid, nothing comes out. I've tried turning the intermittent wiper action switch and pressing the intensive cleaning button to see if that would do anything but no luck.

Any suggestions or tips for a technical newbie like me would be very much appreciated. Really excited to join this special club!

Best regards,

Jasen
