Had a similar problem in my '87

Asked my shop about it, and they said most of the time it's the switch itself. I took the switch out of the steering column, cleaned all the contacts (the ones inside the switch looked fine, but the external ones which the harness plug connects to, were heavily oxidized) with some sandpaper, and all was (and still is) well again.
If you hear the motor run but still no fluid on the windshield, you likely have malfunctioning check valves, also a common problem and easy to fix.
