When you pull the Wiper Stalk, it SHOULD activate the Windshield Washer Pump for a second or two. That stalk pull ALSO turns on the Rain Sensor (RLS) activation of the wipers (as if you had pushed button on end of stalk). If pump (or anything else) puts water on the RLS during the activation period, the wipers will Wipe. If NO water on windshield, wipers don't move.

There's NOTHING wrong with your wipers. The ONLY issue is your Windshield Washer Pump, or it's Connector/wiring.
