There is a electric motor that pumps washer fluid . Located in the bottom of the washer fluid tank .
Wash Operation (Front and Rear Wipers)
The front and rear washer systems use the same windshield washer fluid pump. When either the front or rear wiper is in the washer position voltage will be supplied to one side of the windshield washer fluid pump (depending on whether it is front or rear), while the other side of the pump is grounded.
At this point, the windshield washer fluid pump sprays solvent onto the windshield. When the front or rear washer is activated, the BCM receives an input from the switch that is activated. The BCM will control the wipers while in the WASH mode. The BCM will control either the front wiper relay or the rear wiper relay to turn on the wipers. The windshield wipers operate at low speed for 3 swipes and returns to the park position.
When turning on the washers do you hear the motor run ? Have some one try it while you listen at the washer fluid tank ! These pump motors do go bad .
turn OFF the ignition.
Disconnect the harness electrical connector of the windshield washer fluid pump.
Connect a test lamp from the windshield washer pump control circuit to a good ground .
Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
Press the front washer switch.
Does the test lamp illuminate?
YES or NO !
It is located in the washer fluid reservoir. To gain access to the reservoir, remove the inner fender panel and you will see the pump and level sensor.
usaully located at the bottom of washer tank where you fill the window washer fluid some have fuses in the fuse box others the wires corrode or break at the pump or pump burnt
I would start by checking fuses. If you've checked already, then the windshield washer pump has probably gone bad. The wiper motor and washer pump should be separate units. Typically the washer pump is located in the base of the washer fluid reservoir.
The pump is located inside of the fluid holding tank itself. I would suggest checking the 30 amp (pink) fuse for the windshield washer pump before attempting to replace the pump. The fuse is located in engine compartment distribution block. Find the location of the 30 amp fuse by looking in your car's manual. If the fuse looks fine try swapping it out with an identical 30 amp fuse from the distribution block and trying the washers again. I believe there is one other 30 amp fuse (possibly for the headlights?) in that same location.
Replacement (if necessary) is no easy task as it would require removing quite a few parts of the front fascia of the vehicle including the front bumper and possibly passenger's side fender.
you can buy a in line pump most anywhere and it just goes in the washer fluid line and the wires from your old pump will need the ends changed to make it work.they come with good instruction.
