Anybody have the pump on this just quit? I looked for the fuse in the owners manual and it seems the same fuse protects the fluid pump as does the windshield wipers themselves. They work just fine.
Did a search here, couldn't find any mention. I have the shop manuals, I don't see the pump itself so I assume it is under some other component.

Good luck getting it repaired.

Just a theory of mine............I think that sometimes the w/w pumps "go bad", from lack of use. For instance, I owned a '77 Pontiac T/A for over 20 years. The car was never driven in winter, and seldom in inclement weather. Therefore, the washers were hardly, if ever used. One day, when the car was about 12-14 years old, I tried them, and they didn't work. I replaced the pump, and then they worked. I think the pump had simply dried out, due to not being used.

My current 'Vette, lives the same type of life as the T/A did, so a couple times a year, while I'm getting ready to wash the car, I'll cycle the washers a couple of times, just to get fluid moving through the system. Then I rinse the w/w fluid off the car, and continue with my wash.....

It is an easy fix. Pull the reservoir and remove the pump. Put 12v to it and see if it works. When not used much the fluid dries out and leaves a residue clogging up the works. New pump about $15 at AutoLand.

I agree completely. I rarely drive mine in the rain and I usually clean the windshield once a week by hand anyway. Hardly ever use it. Probably some dried up seal.

Great point. I checked once to see if the wipers worked. The washer may of Never been used. Guess I should try it..

I had to unplug my washer fluid pump because it wouldn't stop pumping. It was spraying fluid on the windshield while driving and the wipers weren't even on. Then a "low washer fluid" warning light came on (of course). Also had to disable the washer fluid check switch to keep that from showing up while driving. Does anyone know a cause and fix for this? Thanks.

My low washer fluid warning notice keeps coming on at startup. How did you disable the washerfluid check switch, where is it? The tank is full.

Unplug the sensor on the back of the washer fluid reservoir.
