Default Windshield wiper problem

Didnt get any fluid on windshield but motor was working. Cleaned the reservoir and still no water, problem was the small hose that is in the viper, replaced that and started to work. But now when i push the button to wash windshield it just gives water but the viper isnt moving at all, it randomly operates as it should but most of the time it just sprays the water and viper does not move?

Other selections function normally with vipers

Sounds like you have a wire on the back of the wiper stalk coming loose from the solder. The next time you experience this, try to gently wiggle the stalk and see if it works.
