84 pickup washer quit

Windshield washer only pumps when wipers are "on"; no more push the
button and wipe. Either low or high and it pumps fine. Just push wash
button, nothing happens. Need a good diagnostician's help. No fuses burnt.

Thanks
Mark

Hate to say this but it sounds like your wiper switch.

Need it pulled to peices and contacts cleaned. Give it a go yourself if yoru
mechanicaly inclined. You cant stuff it any further I suppose.

Have you thought about buying a new switch?

The button switch is very simple --- could be dirty. The button on end pops
off and there is a washer and spring inside. When you push button the metal
washer shorts out and makes the connection.
