Windshield Washer Pump Motor
Maybe the pump motor is bad. Disconnect wires from pump motor and check the voltage there when the lever is pushed. May need two people - one at the voltmeter and one to push the lever - if you do not have long leads on your voltmeter.

take a small folding knife or a razor knife and look for a seam on the cap (circumferential). Slip the knife blade in the seam and pry.

Dinty, i know im not going to be of much help here but...
I think i remember some years did not ahve the washer switch located in the turn signal stalk. If you perhaps were given the wrong part, or it was boxed wrong, you could have one of the switches that does not have a functional washer switch internal.
Just a thought anyway.
Compare all of the harness and connectors to the old switch. Are any of the connectors missing pins or pins located in a different position. Is the wiring color identical or a few wires missing?
Hope it helps.
