AboutSkip Bollinger Expertise Heretofore, I will NOT answer any mechanical question. I am not qualified and can only offer speculations. You are better served by others that are true Techs. With that being said, please only ask about parts and locating obsolete Auto Parts. Thank you.
I have the ability to locate quite a few mechanical parts for American made vehicles fron the 1900`s to present. Some are OEM and some are aftermarket. This would include engine, brake and chassis parts. Body parts and trim are VERY difficult to find but you may inquire.
If you need assistance in repair, I have illustrated books for major American manufacturers that show some illustrations BEFORE 1974. If needed, I can supply repair manuals for your specific vehicle.
PLEASE REMEBER I'M A PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH!! Thank you..

Answer George,
As stated in my Profile, I'm a Parts Professional, NOT a Tech but will offer these thoughts to you.
We need to build a diagnostic "tree". That is, check this, if it is bad, replace it. If it is good, go to step 2 and so on. Here we go... Please remember my degree in Automotive Technology is from 1974 and back then, the only trees available were Family and the ones you climbed!!
1. The first thing to do is check the fuse. IF it is bad, replace it. If it is good, go to step 2.
2. Check to see if you are getting power to the wiper motor. With the key on, have someone turn on the wipers. Does it have voltage going to it? Listen to the motor to see if you can hear it "humm". If it does, look to see if the linkage may be in a bind. IF NOT, go to step 3.
3. Check to see if you have power coming INTO AND OUT of the wiper switch. If you have power in but not out, replace the switch.
I'd look closely at the linkage. Chrysler has used some really junky plastic bushings on their linkage. They are so bad that they are available in the aftermarket and every parts store in America carries them. They are Motormite or Help part number 49440. Help and Motormite are the same company. Some stores call it Motormite and some call it Help. Again, both are the same.
I hope this helps and good luck. I hope you and your family had a safe and happy 4th...
