that clicking is a circuit breaker , you have a short circuit in wiper , most likely where enameled wires from winding leave motor casing . If anyone moves those around the old insulation sleeve crumbles , one scrape of wire on sharp frame edge it is shorted
Has wiper motor been messed with lately ?
sometimes with slow fastidious work you can unsolder or detach wire(s )and slip very small shrink sleeve over them , slide into motor along the wire as far as you can .Then a quick shrink ; see Bob M tech section how to test motor on bench ; it is tricky , not what you think
However that fix of sleeves means moving wires, all the sleeves typically crack and fall off , 4-5 of them from memory
This usually happened to me trying to fix park switch or its cam stuck fast by that damn white lube , hard as a rock
Remember to heed FSM warning ( read it) never to open motor or take apart in parked position , shut off by key with the wipers up on glass not parked
Of course short could be in wiring or harness , I have never been that lucky
Use of thermal breaker ( the click) in wipers instead of fuse is in case trapped by ice , it protects motor from burnout , or should , as park cycle or initial start up out of park will keep trying .
once problem like that is cleared wipers should work again , unlike fuse , in which case no wipers
good luck
