Wiper switch question

1967 f100, I got my windshield wiper cleaning reservoir/plumbing all hooked up this weekend but now when I try to activate it by pushing the windshield wiper **** there is no push then spring back as expected. I can’t pull the ****, push the **** any at all. Just turn it to activate the wipers. What’s up with that? Thx

Was it originally equipped with that option? Somebody might have replaced the switch with a regular one.

Not sure that push/pull is how it works? Try turning the "knobb" to the left to start fluid flow? So, where are you in beautiful east TN?*
Had to spell with extra b's

For what it is worth, I have the original set up on my 67 F100 and the switch is pulled to activate the pump. It has a spring return.

UPDATE

Upon reinstalling my wiper switch after paint I apparently moved the **** too far forward on the wiper switch shaft to allow the necessary travel to activate the pump…After adjustment I now have a push button windshield washer switch!
thx
