I've got an 01 AE with 22,000 miles. Windshield washer is not working. I changed the fuse and that did not work. Any suggestions on pinpointing the problem?? And yes, fluid is full. Thanks

 

Can you hear the motor/pump running when you pull the lever to get washer fluid? If not, I'd gues the motor is dead.

 

Is the motor fairly loud. I had my wife pull the lever, and I put my ear down by the resorvoir and wheelwell. I did not hear anything. If it is the motor is it an easy swap?

 

You should be able to hear it when your inside the car. Ever pull the lever with no washer fluid? You hear the motor, just nothing comes out and cleans your window. I'd assume a swap would be simple, but never done it on my Max.

 

i would check the line for any kinks as well as putting a pin needle in the the sprayer. i thought mine froze last winter but somehow the line was kinked and that solved everything. i am not sure what is involved in replacing the motor if in fact it is shot but i can take a look at my esm tonight and post up if it looks reasonable.

 

Is the resivoir frozen?

 

Did you ever look at the ESM??? I think my pump is shot and need to change it ASAP.

Thanks

 

Washer Pump is part # 11 on here...$13.18...Has anyone changed this??

 

It's just a matter of wiggling it out it's held on with that rubber grommet the hardest part should be undoing the inner wheelhouse (black plastic) to get to it.Good luck If it gets tough try to pry it out with a flathead screwdriver

 

i only have a few sections saved of my esm after my last computer was taken out by lightning. i searched a few sections and can only find info on the wiper arm motor.

 

sorry for raising an old thread up from the dead.
I have to replace the motor tonite..from what I read I just need to remove the wheel well plastic and it's right there...an easy fix...am I right, or am I in for a project?

 

You should be OK, that's what it takes. I will check ESM and let you know. have you downloaded the ESM? You should.
