Windshield washer fluid pumps and reservoirs fail about as often as you think about their existence. When failure does occur, it is usually from the engine simply wearing out, or the pump being run without liquid in the windshield washer fluid reservoir. To keep the pump in good running condition, keeping the coolant reservoir full of fluid a big help.

How are windshield washer pump issues diagnosed?

Windshield washer fluid pumps are diagnosed by a guided process of elimination, from most likely, to least likely. The fuses are checked first, then the power at the windshield washer switch, then power coming from the switch, to the washer fluid pump motor. If there is electrical power going to the windshield washer fluid switch, but the switch will not send power to the windshield washer pump motor, the switch or wiring must be replaced. If the switch sends power, but the windshield washer pump will not run, power at the windshield washer pump would be checked. If electrical power reached the pump motor, but the motor did not run, it would be bench-tested, and confirmed failed.

How is a windshield washer pump replaced?

To replace the windshield washer pump motor, the reservoir must be accessed, as it is normally installed in, on, or near the windshield washer fluid reservoir. The fluid reservoir can be installed anywhere on a vehicle. They are commonly seen under the hood, behind the fender wells, behind the bumper yet in front of the core support, or, of all places, in the trunk. Once it is located and accessed, the old pump will unclip, or unscrew, and the new will go on in reverse order. Once the washer fluid pump is tested, the vehicle can be reconstructed.

What to look out for when dealing with windshield washer pump issues

Can I replace the windshield washer pump myself?

Testing and replacing the windshield washer pump is simple on most vehicles, and access is generally small but sufficient.

If the pump is too difficult, or requires deconstruction to access, consider contacting a certified repair facility.
