Just wondering if anyone has had their windshield washer fail. I have a 2001 SE automatic 6 cylinder. My wipers work normally at all speeds and they will come on if I pull the switch to wash, but I don't get any spray from the nozzles. The tank is full and nothing is clogging the hose. Any insight would be great.

Is the pump kicking on? You should be able to hear it when you pull back on the wiper stick. If you can't have someone stand in front and have them listen.

yep. i think the washer motor has its own fuse if it isn't kicking on. if the fuse is okay then use a voltmeter to check for current at the pump with the switch engaged. if you have voltage, the pump needs replaced

i've rarely, if ever, heard of them failing so i'm thinking fuse first

make sure you check the lines to ensure it didnt get disconnected. it could just be shooting down inside your engine bay or something. that happened on my civic.

On my '04 XE, when the fluid pump went I was unable to put the front passenger side widow up from the drivers side. It was strange, but as soon as I put the new pump in it worked fine. and the pump was simple to replace although it is a dealer part. I got mine from courtesyparts.com

here's the link to the part

Thanks everybody for your input. I'll have to do some more investigating. I'm not having any other electrical problems. I'm thinking that the motor has gone bad for some reason. I also have checked to make sure all the hoses are hooked up.

Napa carries them.

I've had the pump fail in my 2000. I took the old one apart and found that the copper nodes that power the coils needed cleaning. Despite how it looks there is a way to open it and clean the nodes. To be clear I'm NOT talking about the wire harness connectors.

Success

Hey Folks,

Just wanted to let you know that I've fixed the pump today. I removed it, and then disassembled the bottom. I found that the impeller/motor was stuck. After giving it a few good wacks it freed up. I put the motor back in and it's running like a champ. We'll see how long it lasts. Being in Congo it's hard to get parts, so I've got to do what I can. Thanks to all those who gave some input.
Until next time....

I just wanted to say that I experienced the same exact problem (Which is how I found this forum).

Giving the pump a couple of whacks worked for me too!

Washer fuse

Which fuse slot for the washer pump? It's not listed on my fuse cover or in owner's manual.
TIA~

I'm not sure. My only guess is that it is tied to the windshield wipers. There wasn't a specific fuse to the pump itself.

No washer

Since I have everything working except the washer fluid, I'm going to take out the pump.
Thanks, everyone.

On my 2001, it's #6 in the under-dash fuse box...

What is the description for #6 fuse? I see no numbers
