Re: windshield wipers wont turn on

The only difference in the 85 & later civilian wiper motors is the lack of the gear and cam washer pump and the plug for it.
The 1985 and newer civilian trucks had the washer pump in the washer fluid reserviour and the wires that were routed to the pump terminals on the wiper motor on earlier models were routed to the tank mounted pump instead.

You should still have the three wire plug with ignition power in the centre position and HI & LO grounds from the switch on the outside terminals.

Again my knee jerk thought is one or more of the electrolytic motor noise suppression capacitors have kicked the bucket. Not terribly shocking after 30+ years. The civilian versions of these trucks did not have them. These capacitors were a CUCV specific electrical part like the starter relay behind the knee panel. They can be bypassed with no ill effects.
