Replaced the wiper fluid pump. replaced the windshield wiper switch, checked hoses, all clear. The pump isn't getting electricity from the engine. The problem must be with the wiring. what is the easiest fix? I was told to tear out and replace the wiring would be thousands, way too much to fix what otherwise is a trivial problem. What else could I be missing?

Good afternoon,

Forget about the thousands. That was someone who did not want to help you.

I attached a wire diagram. We need to test for power coming out of the wiper switch when you command washers.

Do you have a voltmeter to do some testing? You need to test the red wire coming out of the switch for voltage.
