no wipers

When I turn on my wipers in my 93 I hear a clicking coming from the passenger kick panel and nothing happens. How can I fix them?

The clicking is your wiper relay. That means your switch is working, and almost surely the relay is working. The only things left are the motor, ground and wiring between. I suggest you check for voltage and ground at the motor. If no voltage, check for wiring problem between relay and motor. If voltage is present, check the ground. If you've determined grounding is good but motor doesn't operate, replace motor.
