The "yellow" wire began its life white. It receives I+ directly from the WIPER fuse. Probe both sides of the WIPER fuse using an incandescent test light (not LED).
Tip: when you probe for power, touch the brass terminals that comprise the fuse socket. Sometimes oxidation will accumulate between the blades of the fuse and its socket contacts, preventing continuity.
Once you verify power through the fuse to its contacts, probe the white wire as it exits the firewall bulkhead connector. From the bulkhead connector, the white wire routes directly to the wiper motor and the windshield washer pump solenoid. FYI - The dashboard switch controls the W/W ground connections. As long as the switch is properly grounded to the interior left kick panel, you should not detect any power there.
As part of your diagnosis, you can temporarily insert a jumper (protected by a 20-amp inline circuit breaker) between B+ and the white wire at the wiper motor to verify motor and switch functions.
