Ok, my wife blames me. I refilled her 2003 elements windsheild washer
container, and the front sprayer stopped working. The back one still
works. I can hear the motor running when I turn on the back sprayer,
but no motor sound when I do the front washer. I'm hoping it's the
fuse, or something simple like that, but I can't find a fuse listed in
the owners manual for this. Is there a separate fuse for this motor,
and is there only one motor, or are there 2? Any other ideas before I
shell out the bucks at a shop?

FWIW, the motor seized in our Volvo and had to be replaced. The whole
impeller section was made of plastic and jammed solid when it deformed.
Checker auto had a universal replacement for a reasonable price that worked
okay.

Anyone? Fuses or relays that control this (these) motor(s)? Please?
