Washer pump not working



All the fuses are good. I have the wiring exposed and none are loose. I ran a wire from the pump to the inside of the car in order to essentially hot wire the car pump. However I can't figure out which wire is the signal wire to the pump to turn it on to splice into. This grey wire that I spliced into send a signal when you pull the mist switch which would work however it then sends a constant signal when you turn the wipers onto low or high mode so then it would be spraying fluid constantly. Any other idea what wire to tap into which is just for the pump.


 
you could run that wire to a push button switch. you just need to jump a fuse and hot wire from the fuse box to the other side of the switch.
 
Yeah but the problem is if I do that I'll just turn on the fluid but the wipers wouldn't move so I would still have to turn the knob on the stalk. I would rather try to fix this using the OEM switch.
 


Have you tried splicing into the washer wire? You said you tried the mist, yet we all know mist isn't how you actuate the pump. That's the wash button that's further down the stalk.

What are you talking about dark green? Scott highlighted the exact wire for you. It's red.and goes into connector 2 of the underhood relay center at cavity F12, then it feeds the pump from Connector 3 cavity A12.
 


I know you know everything bill but I tried that wire and it didn't solve anything. The break in the connection occurs wherever that red wire connects to a harness somewhere under the dash.
 
I don't know everything..that's why I'm as good finding issues as I am. Everyday I can and do learn something new. That diagram though tells you what you need. You say you tested a green wire, yet the wire you were looking for ....wasn't green. I'm only joking a bit since you've got it fixed.
