Wind shield washer

[SWCampbell]

I searched for an answer and have yet to find and answer so I'm going to turn to the experts for help. I ended up replacing my motor on my wind shield washer at the fluid reservoir due to me getting very little fluid if any out when the button is depressed. I followed the line in search of leaks or deteriorating hoses or fittings and have yet to find one. So I'm stuck in what to do next short of replacing the entire tubing. Does anyone have a suggesting?

The only thing I hear from the pump is when it is first depressed and the the motor stops, I don't know if that's correct or not. Thanks for any info!

What year is your truck? I suggest you connect a volt meter to verify it is getting voltage when you activate the pump. Check wire continuity. Also, use low pressure air to blow out the lines to verify you are in the clear.
The reason the year is important is the TIPM could be a factor, depending on the year, but the voltage check will help in any case.

You replaced the whole pump not the motor right?

Yes sir I replaced the whole pump, it was attached to the side of the reservoir. I will check the continuity as soon as I can.

Most common failure is plugged nozzles if the pump is working and the filter is not clogged.

I had to replace the multifunction switch for this reason as my pump worked intermittent to. In the end I had to push very hard on it to make it work.
