97 F-350 Dump: Wiper Problem...It clicks, but doesn't work...

When I activate the wiper switch, I hear a clicking noise, coming from where the wiper motor is... I am assuming, sounds like the passenger side of the truck by the glove compartment, and it just clicks and the wipers do not move. I am assuming I need to replace the wiper motor. Let me know your thoughts, thanks!

Sounds like a relay switch if your hearing the click. Don't quote me on that though.

Sorry to dig up an old post but I have the exact same problem and thought it better to get an answer here than start a new post. Everything else that has come up in searches is typically for older trucks with switch or control module problems.

Echoing the OP... My wipers don't work. They haven't worked since I bought the truck. I don't drive it much and am just getting around to working on the problem.

The fuse is good and I have power at the fuse box. When I turn the wiper switch I hear the control module behind the glove box click so I assume the switch and control module are good. I thought the motor was bad so I replaced it but the wipers still don't work.

At this point I assume the problem lies between the control module and motor but I'm not sure how to test further. I would test for power at the motor but I'm not sure what the pin-out for the connector is. Your help is appreciated.
