Car Forum / Honda Cars / July 2007Element Windshsiled washer Pump
It's happened twice that I've topped up the winshield wiper fluid reservoir, and now the pump doesn't work. The pump for the rear window is fine, but nothing happens for the front window, no pump noise, but the Wipers work. The last ime it happened, I might not have put the cap on tightly, but when I removed and put the cap back on it worked again. Nothing seems to be out of place or loose as far as hoses. Thanks for any help.

If you don't hear the washer motor, check the wiring to the washer motor. If you have 12V at the connector to the washer motor (when its energized), that motor is gone bad. If you hear it pumping but nothing comes out, check for clogged nozzles & pinches in the hose. Also look for puddles under the car where there might be a leak or disconnection in the hose. > Turn the ignition to "on" but don't start the car & try the front washer. > If you don't hear the washer motor, check the wiring to the washer motor.

Thanks, I tried ignition on only, and no motor noise. Is the motor in the Fender behind the headlight, inder the reservoir. In fact IS there a separate pump for the the rear washers, or is it the same pump? No puddles or leaking fluid.

You'll know for sure when you get the fender liner, etc. out of the way to see the tank. Probably want to double check that you haven't missed a blown fuse before taking the car apart. > The motor is going to be inserted into the tank near the bottom.

I checked the Owners Manual to se which fuse applies for the Winsheild washer Pump and couldn't find one indicated in either the under dash,nor under hood Fuse boxes. I guess I missed it, I'll check again.
