Windshield washer wiring
The windshield washer on my new-to-me '97 F250 doesn't work, so I replaced the pump (which was basically disintegrated) but that didn't fix it. Went ahead and replaced the multi-function switch as well since it's old, and still not working. I've checked fuses and relays, so would wiring be the only thing left? Does it only get power when pushing the button?

Is your F250 the older body style F250HD or the newer 1997 and up body/powertrain shared with the F150?

It's the older one - like the 92-96...

Grab a test light and confirm if you got power to the motor and at the fuse.

I tried that but thought maybe it only had power when the switch was being pushed.
