Yes, you should hear the motor whines regardless of the liquid spraying out of not. I am asking you because if motor whine but no water, that means u have a broken washer line. Which is not the case here.

Washer pump failure is not uncommon.

regarding repair procedure, you Have to remove the R/F wheel and the Wheel well liner for access. U dont even have to open the hood. Just put a Pan under the car to catch all washer fluid. Once you pull the motor out, all washer fluid will come out with it. The Motor is snap in, so just pull with twisting motion. If it is too stubborn, then use a screw driver to pry it off.

If the wiper comes ON when u pull the switch, that means ur Switch is working fine.

 

Here is a photo of the underside of the washer fluid reservoir (attached)

Which one of those cylindrical objects is the windshield washer pump? The white one or black one?

I'm not much of an electrical expert but the 2 piece wire bypass sounds interesting. Can you provide more details on how to achieve this. I would like to see if the pump is working?

 

Two pumps. One for the rear window and one for the front windshield. Which is which I'm not sure. Feel the pumps as you activate the rear washer. The one not vibrating is the forward pump.

 

Not sure which one is which...
you said the rear pump works, right? Unplug 1 of them and see which one you unplug will shut off the rear pump.

 

All is fixed now. I did as stated and unplugged the one and tried the rear washer. I determined the black one needed replacing. After pulling and lifting the unit, i inserted the new one, tested. All good!

That was a wonderfully easy problem to deal with THANKS to you guys.

Much appreciated!!!!

 

Glad to help. Have a Merry Christmas.

 

In the hope that someone will find this useful, let me explain my situation. Mine is a '96 Dodge Grand Caravan and one fine morning I found the same problem -- no washer fluid coming out. The rear worked fine. Quite by accident (while experimenting) I pulled out, first, the rear washer hose and then the front (one at a time) and noticed that, whereas there was a steady flow of fluid from the rear hose, there was a tiny trickle out of the front hose. After I disconnected power to the motor and pulled it out what I found was a teflon-like deposit completely blocking the built-in filter. After I removed the 'teflon tape', cleaned, and put everything back together, it worked like new. All in 30 minutes.

 

For everyone working this problem, DO NOT run the wipers on a dry windshield. You'll scratch it with every pass. Run a hose on it . have the significant other, or the kids make themselves useful. It's a lot cheaper than a new windshield. And don't even think of buffing the scratches out. it'll take hours, and possibly distort the glass. No, I'm not a novice at this. It used to be my trade. Hope this helps.
