Need help on my front washer fluid it wont come out after I pull the handle switch from the steering wheel meanwhile I checked the hose coming from the reservoir and I even suck up the washer fluid and it comes off (washer fluid taste so bad “yuck”). Anyway but when I press the button for the rear washer and it works; washer fluid comes of but in my front windshield only the wiper is working no washer fluid is coming. I checked the 15amp fuse and its good maybe the guys over at Sydney Auto forgot to plug something, I can’t call or bring this car back 'coz they are permanently closed. What should I do? ---

**FIRST:** check if the pump is plugged in **SECOND:** run power direct to the motor to see if it works… if it does then you have a wiring issue from the activation switch to the pump. **THIRD:** if it dont work with direct power the pump is dead and needs to be replaced! THATS ALL FOLKS!! ---

the pumps have a bad habit of rusting apart. $5 says when you grab the plug it pulls right out of the motor. ---

When I tried to remove the clip from the pump motor, the armatures and half the motor ended up coming with it. Just wire in an external pump and call it a day lol ---
