Windshield Washer not working

[estrellajon]

My windshield washer stopped working eventhough I have a full reservoir. What mechanisms can I check to make this not work?

First, I'd check the fuse. Secondly, check to see if the washer pump is making noise when you push the spray button.

If there is noise, it is probably a blocked line.

If no noise, it is most likely the washer pump motor. I just replaced mine and it cost me $18 from http://www.importec.com.

It's very simple to replace, but make sure you get the gasket for it also, I made that mistake!

I made the same mistake! Had to make my own out of rubber washers. It took quite a bit of trial and error getting the right combo.

Where is the pump motor located?

on the side of the washer tank, at the bottom. you will see tubing connected to it as well as the power connector.
