98 Dodge Stratus - Washer Pump Problem

akdud49 · #1 10-23-2005, 09:57 PM

Hi Guys:

My windshield washer stopped working. Can anyone tell me the cause, location of the washer pump and how to access it? Can I use a universal washer pump? Dealer is asking $100 for parts & $80 for labour (Canadian funds). I cannot find any help on the web. I am so desperate to find the location of the washer pump.

Thanks a lot

I don't know if I'll be much help, but I'm actually having the same problem, I have a 2002. I went to an auto parts store and looked in a service manual. The pump on my car is directly underthe washer fluid resavoir. I think it is on most cars. The books said that I have to take off the front bumper to get to it, so it couldbe the same for you. I'm actually having trouble taking it off so if anyone has any suggestions let me know.

The pump is indeed hidden away. I'd only be guessing on the 1998, but the 2002 model winshield washer pump should be accessible from behind/in front of the right front tire. This is only marginally easier than removing the front bumper, but you don't have to take the panel all the way off to get to it.
