Windshield washer pump not getting power?

"bad switch at the control arm"

Mine sticks real bad but still works. Hope yours is just a fuse.

"mine sprung a leak"

Don't know how, but the hose came loose from the reservoir on mine. Could that be your 'leak'. It just slips back on but it's a pain to get to.

No.. I so wish.. the bottom of the pump cracked where it goes into the resiviour (sic) so I have to find a new one..

Thanks guys, found the problem. exposed wire down in behind the headlight where it comes off the wire harness.

Solitude: pumps are very cheap and easy to replace.
See this thread for replacement:

Ldub: I do find it strange that there is no fuse for the pump. There is a fuse for the wiper arm motor. but it is separate from the pump I think.

Cheers all.
Hope everyone gets what they want for Christmas.

I'm just glad you found it & got it fixed. Wiring gremlins in general suck, but having to fix them outdoors on the frigid Canadian tundra magnifies the suck factor by about eleventybillion.

Speaking of what I want for Christmas...you can stop sending all the cold air down here to me any time now...I've had aboot enough!
