Thread: Washer Fluid Not Pumping After Pump Replacement (PHOTO UPLOADED)

I finally got around to replace my washer pump thinking thats the reason why my washer fluids didnt work and the fact that when i got the car, the person previously told me the pump was bad.

Well i got the new one in, checked the hoses for any clogs (none), I blew into the electric connector, clearing any dirt and what not. Threw some water in the reservoir to test things out and nope, nothing happens. I tried 3 - 5 cycles, pushing any possible air through the hoses and still nothing works. Im frustrated and clueless.

What else can i do? I hate cleaning my windshield from bug guts and other debris all the time.

By the way, where would the fuse be for the pump?

mine doesnt work either man i know how you feel i just removed my washer fluid reservoir

Im thinking im not getting any electrical current to the pump.

Added a photo about something strange.

Alright cool, will be checking back at the post again

Any solution to this? I'm having the same problem. Replaced the pump, still no juice. And I really need washer fluid since I'm out driving between 1-6 AM every day. I'll don't want to have to hand wash my windows every day.

Nope, i still have no solution. Does the "low fluid" light turn on when you start your car like every other light? If not, you also probably have no power to the pump. vsixer never got back to me about the plug, nor have i been able to find a grand prix in my area to look at to find where this mysterious plug plugs into.

No, the low fluid light does not come on. I only disconnected one plug when I changed the motor, and the only other plug close to there is the one that runs to the low fluid gauge. I need to pick up a multimeter to see if I'm getting power there. No other electrical issues for me.

What fuse would the pump run on? The wipers fuse maybe?

If it ran off the wiper fuse, then my wipers wouldn't work. But they run fine. I was kind of hoping it was that simple after replacing the motor, but no luck.

Did your wipers still work, and only the pump was non functional? Did you buy it used from Morad or someone similar, or was it a junk yard find?

Put an order in today with Morad for the multi function switch. $45 including shipping. Should be able to install it this weekend when I do my struts.

That's what the folks at Morad said - just use a bit and a wrench instead of the Torx head. They said it takes them 15, probably would take me 30. I can live with that, especially if it fixes the problem.

Just confirmed that the plug in the photo above, has no relation to the wiper fluid. I just looked under the hood of another Grand Prix, the fluid in that 1 works with the plug unplugged so its not that.
