Default Wiper System

Hi i have a 93 850 GLT and just the past few days my washer system has quit on me. I don't get any washer fliud spraying out of the nozzles Now could this be a pump problem or something else? I've checked all the connections and the fuses and they seem all fine. But when i tryed to spray the windshield nothing happens. I really need some help on this before the cold weather comes...any advise is great thanks

Ohh by the way how to you remove the washer motor (if it is that) can someone send me pics or something

It is either the pump or the fluid line has clogged. There are two T-valves; one for the headlights & the other for the window. There is also an in-line filter close to the reservoir.

Try disconnecting the lines and blow air through them to ensure they are clear. If they are, I'll bet one of the T fittings is clogged/shot. That is what it usually turns out to be

Wow, I think that is one of the first times I have heard of the washer pump motor itself going bad. Glad you found the problem and let us know

It is the first time for me to hear it too.

It may mean that the 850s are in need of some replacement for electrical motors, be it the washer, A/C blower (whose threads have been posted like crazy recently...), etc...
