namaste1978 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I searched on this but didn't find anything. The wiper fluid lines are clear and are not clogged. I even replaced the fluid tank with a different one from the salvage yard to see if a different pump would work. What do I do if I'm not getting any power to the pump? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Check the fuses first. Could be any number of things causing the problem though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisd Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Is there fluid in the tank? Just kidding. sorry couldn't resist. If fuse is good, maybe disconnect the plug to pump and check for voltage when switch is pressed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOthis Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 if you are getting power and ground at the connector things should be working..have you tried jumping the little pump motor to make sure the motor works...ones in salvage yards in my opinion aren't really the best to test with..obviously what cools the pump is the water/ washer fluid so who knows how long that thing has been sitting out there dry or who attempted to operate it with nothing in it...I vaguely remember $20 sticking in mind when i replaced mine with one from NAPA a couple years back in my 96 Legacy...

Fairtax4me Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Is this a wagon or sedan? There are two plugs near the washer fluid tank. One is for the front washer motor, the other is for the rear washer motor for the wagon models. The rear washer motor plug will still be there even on the sedans, but will not be operational. The front washer plug should be bright green, and the rear washer plug is white/grayish color. Make sure the correct plug is connected to the pump. Check for power at the connector. The pump is grounded through the switch. There are 3 connectors in line to the switch which could be corroded or damaged, but a bad switch is more likely than poor connections. But like I said, check fuses first. Fuse number 2 in the panel under the dash is the washer motor. The power wire at the pump is white and light blue I believe. The "ground" at the connector is Light green and red. Ignition switch has to be in the On position for the circuit to get power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
