I have lately Try to fix my wipers and I Redo almost all vacuum hoses but is it normal when you turn vipers on inside the car The Button Sizzles under the dash and its not vacuum leak on the hoses and when I turn Viper Speed knob it tries to move just a little bit but not move at all

Other things

-What hose comes from under the wiper motor and where is it goes because it sucks air from outside, my book does have anything about it but its 55 service manual

-Is viper washer motor electric or work with vacuum when wipers go because when I press the washer button it just Clicks

There's 2 lines going to that switch. One is missing on yours. Also they have to go a certain way where if you look at the switch, the barb that is exposed to air goes to the barb on the front of the motor. The barb that is always under the sliding switch goes to the barb on the top of the motor.

I think you need to switch where that line is connected then add the other.

It's shown in the service manuals. I screenshotted and put them in this post along with tubing sizes etc.

For the washer, make sure it's tubed up correctly as shown. But the unit itself probably needs to be rebuilt too.
