windshield washer has stopped working

Hey WWASKO,

Can you hear the washer motor running when you hit the button? if so then the nozzles are clogged which is a common problem, take a small pin while the washer pump is working and then unplug them, if you can hear the pump motor running check fuse #12 7.5A (in fuse box left side of dash) then check washer relay (underhood) there is a relay for front, and one for rear washer. The pump is located bottom of reservoir.

Here is a guide that tell you what you are in for when replacing the washer motor.

Hello, My windshield washer pump sometimes will work but not always. When I press the button the wipers will move but the fluid wont spray. Sometimes it will spray. What could be the problem?

Do you have a multimeter to do some testing?

check the switch in the jug remove it and check the screen on it. it may need cleaning including the jug.if thats clean and the motors running.check for clogged nozzles

my windshield washer motor went out, I replaced with new. Now my wipers quit working. What do I do now ?

you need to find out why..

start with checking the fuses with a test light to see if any are bad.

tap on the wiper motor to see if it starts. if it does, then the motor is bad.

The washer solvent pump is not working. Before I go and take the bottle out, I'd like to check the fuse first, however, I do not know what fuse to look at. Any suggestions?

It should be in the owner's manual. Let me know. Also, you should be able to see a burnt fuse in the box.
