Windshield washer pump

So I finally got around to getting the upgrade tank for the wiper fluid and radiator overflow. So I made a bracket to hold it, ( I'll,show that in a bit) hooked up the pump, pushed the wiper switch and nothing. I have done the intermittent mod that is fine just no squirty squirty?
Dug into it and found the green wire with black tracer and nothing. Pulled my stock wiper switch and there is no terminal for it on the switch? What am I missing here? My 69 did have the windshield squirter option it has the plug for the factory pump.
Any tips or clues appreciated.

Steve, one wire has to be moved on the back of the switch and you will be good to go. I'll see if I can find a link. Nice bracket....I like how it holds it out some.

Thanks Tyler, I knew I had to be missing something.
The braket only took an hour to fab up. I kinda copied someone else design a bit but was tired of waiting for them to produce some. I might have my buddy cut a few out on his CNC plasma for me. I'm gonna powder coat it Monday then reinstall everything.

Your bracket looks good. The mods to our bracket are easy to do, but life has a way of getting in the way of projects like this. We will have a finished product out soon.

Your welcome, but I learned that trick on here after I had the same problem. I'm just passing good info along. I could not find the thread that had that pic, but luckily I had saved the image. So....thank you to whoever posted it originally. Ain't this site great!

Where does the rubber feed hoses go to the windshield at on a 1971 bronco? Cannot find where the outlet for the washer fluid goes either?
