My windshield fluid sprayers haven't worked very well for several years, but now I get nothing. Winter and spray from the car in front of me helped me realize I need to fix this quickly. The nozzle on the driver's side sprays a little stream almost to the base of the windshield, but that's it. Nothing comes out of the nozzle on the passenger's side. I unhooked the hose coming up off the fender which connects to the hose attached to the hood. When I spray with the hose unhooked, i barely get a trickle of fluid from the hose. The reservoir is full, and I hear the pump trying to pump (or at least making a noise). Does it sound like my pump may be broken and needing to be replaced? If so, where is this pump for the front located, and how do I access it? Or... could there be something else in the system (hoses?) that could be causing this problem?

 

You need a new washer fluid pump.
It is upfront by the washer bottle, I think it is inside the bottle.

What year?

On a D1, you take off 2 bolts holding it in, and you have to get a really long #2 phillips to unscrew it from the fender well. You have to turn the screws from the top and hold the nuts from the bottom in the fender well.

The pump is on the back of the tank. There are 3 on there. You may want to check the anti-siphon valve, as this becomes clogged regularly.

Thanks guys. This is partly what I'm unsure of. I figured there were at least two pumps in there (one for the windshield and one for the rear window), but I wasn't sure if there were more. They all use the same reservoir, though. The rear window washer seems to work just fine. It gets plenty of fluid in the back. The rig is an '02 DII. Any thoughts on where that pump is on a DII and how best to access it?
