The clicking sound is your relay sending a pulse to your wiper motor. Get a test lite, unplug your wiper motor and check all the wires coming from your switch for 12v power. The black wire is ground, you can use that to ground our test lite. If no power is found then attach your tester to a solid known ground on the vehicle and retest again. If you find power then you have either a bad ground or a bad motor. Check the motor by running a hot wire off your battery and a ground to the the vehicle. If your motor works then you possibly have a bad ground.

Correct replacement windshield wiper blades are not only correct length, but also correct attachment. Never just buy by length only. Always lookup your vehicle in an application guide at the store or now-a-days you can 'lookup wiper size' online. The key to an easy install is correct size/correct part numbers.
The new replacement wiper will have step-by-step, illustrated instructions for removal and installation. Take your new wiper blade and instructions out to your vehicle and physically get the old and new wipers in your hands and take a look. The instructions will make 100% sense once you're looking and touching them.
Most wiper replacements snap off and on, do not require tools and take approximately 2-15 minutes.

Does PL PD cover my broken windshield?
Usually a person has to have a special glass coverage rider. It's fairly cheap but you have to ask for it when you obtain insurance. If you do not have such a rider, the insurance company won't cover broken glass.
This may help. I have a '99 Suburban which most likely has the same wiper system. Mine was completely berserk for some time. Would not start when turned on, then later started and would not turn off, would not respond to speed changes - absolutely nuts. Nobody could tell me what was most likely. Consulting forums like this one, I learned of the circuit board on the wiper motor. Easy to change. 10 minutes or so. I think it's called a "wiper module". Found many sources on line from $25 up. Dealer wanted at least $75 for it. Local parts house has them for $35 or so, no waiting. May be the answer. Dealer wanted $75 just to check it out.

this also is happening to me right now, and 600 dollars later i still have windshield wipers that work perfectly unless in intermittent, in which case they pause upright... Remove the plastic that covers your wiper motor just below the windshield. On the wiper motor there is a small plate held on by screws, remove the plate. You will see two metal tabs, one of which appears bent. Bend it back and reassemble. The problem usually occurs when the wipers are held in place, by ice for instance, and the switch is turned on.
1)If that doesnt work then after you remove the plastic cover and take off the nut...which is 13mm size, your going to need to get like channel locks or vice grips and pull the wiper arms off. 2)Once they are off, remove the cowl cover. You might need to get a small screwdriver and pry up the plastic screw and get a needle nose plier and pull the screw out and then the other little plastic thing the screw went into you have to pry out as well...it's not hard. 3)Then once you remove the screws, remove the lining strip and disconnect the wiper hose. 4)Now once the cowl cover is removed you'll see another plastic cover on the driver side. Remove that. There's a little white plastic thing holding it down. Take that off. Be careful because it might tear. If it does don't worry then it makes it easier to remove the cover. 5)Now you see a black plastic cover covering the gears and stuff. That just pops off. Take that off. 6)Now there's this torx head screw, just break it lose. Once its broken loss that whole gear thing will turn freely from the motor. You'll see an arm that stick up at an angle from the gear.It should be sticking up and to the right. It should be connected to another arm that actually pushes and pulls the blades. Turn the gear so that the arm is turned to the bottom left position. You might have to adjust it just a little to one side or the other but its in that general direction. 7) Once its set in that direction, re tighten the torx headed screw. Now put one blade on to see if its set correctly. Now if its not set correctly just adjust the wiper arm or readjust the gear. 8) Once you have it set. Do everything in reverse when you put it back together and you should be okay.
olds wiper problemif you pry off the plastic cover on the wiper blades- there will be a large nut- if this is not tightened down enough it will let the wipers shift from the original setting and even strip out some of the aluminum around the hole reposition the blade in the right spot and re tighten the nut
For the perfectionistIf you'd rather do it without breaking things, go get a re manufactured wiper motor assembly and replace it, assuring that the holes in the arms aren't stripped out.
