Default 2001 GCS Front Windshield Washer - NO output!!

I have a 2001 GC Sport and the Front windshield wsher has no output.
I have:
1. Filled the reservoir.
2. Swapped relays between the front and rear washers and no change.
3. Replaced the FT/RR Washer 15a fuse.

What else? Where is the motor mounted? I tried to trace the lines from the sprayers, but can't even get ot them.....

TIA!!

Can you hear the spray motor running?If so the spray heads must be clogged.The blockage is usually in the head and can be opened with a needle or fine wire.

The motor is located in the front fenderwell immediately in front of the passenger side front tire. I cant remember the exact procedure for getting to it but the front and back washers have thier own separate motor inserts that insert, if I remember right in the bottom of the fluid resevior. I accessed it from underneath. I think the part was about $18 at the dodge dealer and it took about 20 minutes to replace.

Chopper,
No I didn't hear the motor, but will check again, now that I know where it is located.


Veaumjj,
Thanks for the tip on the motor location. Sounds like a fairly easy fix!!

Later,

I once found red ants blocking the windshield washer tubing. They must like methanol.
