Right turn signal activated washer pump. was intermittent, now...

2003 Grand Caravan. 160000, km. When i used the right turn signal the washer pump started (not the wipers though)-- never happened again for a week. then it happened again only it drained the resevoir. Now if there is anything in the resevoir it is sprayed out as soon as the van is turned on. obviously a short or electronic control problem... any thoughts? I've already replaced the electronic control module ( 2 years ago - $1100.00) and the airconditioner, ( 1-1/2 years ago and $1000.00) if this problem is electronic, what would be a guestamit for repair.

Thanks,

Rick

SOURCE: 1997 dodge grand caravan wiper failure

Did they confirm no power to motor itself? I assume they did. Did they remove harness from module & clean all connections to it, and try again? Did you by any chance call dealer to confirm price of new, or call local auto recyclers for price and availability on a used one? In my experience these are not a common thing to go, but maybe one of the other techs here can jump in and give their opinion or experience on it.

It sounds like your multifunction switch is faulty and will need to be replaced. The multifunction switch is a combination of your signal and wiper/washer switches all in one unit and is not servicable and is replaced as a whole unit .

How do you prime fuel pump? 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan.

Turn the key on , the fuel pump is computer controlled . The PCM - engine computer will energize the fuel pump relay for two seconds when you first turn the key on ! This primes the fuel system !

I have a 2003 grand am.....sounds like the signal light is on...no inducator lights are flashing inside or outside....and are working when need to be is this a issue for a machanic

Not a mechanic issue. The problem is the flasher relay is constantly active. The reason you don't have the indicator on is the switch isn't turned on.

2001 Dodge Grand Caravan intermittent turn signal problem, particularly when cold. sometimes don't work at all, other times try to use right signal and left comes on.

The most likely cause is the multifunction switch located on the steering colomn. Also involved in the turn signal operation is the BCM (body control module) and the IPC (intelligent power module). For the problem you are describing I would go with the multifunction switch as the most likely culprit.

My blinker and washer fluid won't work on my dodge caravan

This sounds like the fuse for the turn signal/washer has blown. I've had a similar problem that traced back to the washer pump. Replace the fuse and just "bump" the washer switch. If the washer doesn't turn on, don't hold it on or it will blow the fuse again. You'll need to replace the washer pump. In the meantime before your pump replacement, your turn signals will work again.

I hope this helps! :)

I have a 2000 328i and the wipers work when switched on (both low and high), but i cannot get the washer or intermittent features to work. I have water in the reservoir but i don't hear the pump come on. ...

Sounds like a defective multiswitch on the steering column that is used to turn on wipers, washer, intermittent, etc. If you were only having problems with the washer, I might suspect the washer motor. But the fact that you are also having problems with the intermittent feature, I would suspect the multiswitch. If you can get access to the washer motor, you can test it by putting 12V to the connector to see if the pump will come on. Are your turn signals activated with the same switch as the wipers?
