Hey Everyone,

I just had the motor quit for the windshield washer. I cannot find which fuse it is in either of the manuals. Anyone had experience with this? I have not pulled the Battery to access the bottle & motor yet.

2003 GP

The wipers work fine. Thanks in advance for any advice.:th_thumb-up:

you can buy that little fluid motor for 15-25 bucks at a auto parts store.

Crawl under the car by the pass side fog light with a flashlight and you should see it.
 
Thanks for the quick response, ffdp.

Well, now that I had to take that cross bar off to get the battery out!( WTF, can't they design ANYTHING to be simple??):th_angry2:

I assume that getting the bottle out to access the squirter motor is an absolute PITA, since it isn't covered anywhere in the manuals.

Once again, any help much appreciated!

you should not need to take the battery out, just crawl under the car and with the flashlight search for the little pump on the side of the windshield washer container and pull the motor out, and replace.
 
Sounds nice and easy. I won't get showered with W.W. fluid?

Do I twist & pull or just pull? Sorry for sounding like a noob, but I have not had to work on this part of the car before, and I cannot see the motor, just the wires going into the connector.

Thanks much.

take the wheel well cover loose with the 5 or so screws loose and pull it back it will be right there you just have to take off the one hose and the wiring clip and it pulls out
 


yea turn the wheel to left? pull the 5 screws out, pull the cover away undo pigtail, have new one ready in left hand, pull old one out with right hand. then install new one
my car eats these up 3 or 4 times a year. :)
 
Thanks ffpd & redline, That was my next guess, to pull the wheel house!

This is the first motor this car has eaten. Not sure about three per year, but that sounds like there is a sort somewhere.

Anyway, Thanks much!:cool:
