Default Wiper motor

Wipers not spitting out fluid and yes the reserve has fluid

Wipers work tho ...

Anyone have any idea that it might be something else ?
If not this seems like a lot of labor to fix..(probably more labor cost then the part) How much you think it should run about all together?

Your washer fluid pump is probably bad or the power supply to it is bad. Either that or a hose has come disconnected. Check the fuse to the washer pump first. If thats good, disconnect the hose coming out of the pump and have someone turn the washers on. If it doesnt squirt out fluid (fluid should flow out on its own anyway, but it will be pressurized if the pump is working), the pump is probably bad. The wiring to the pump could be bad too, but unless you have or know someone who has a multitester, you cant really safely test to see if it has power.

If you do have to replace the pump, its not a hard job at all. Just unplug the pump and pull it out. If youcant get to it while the bottle is in,remove the bottle and pull out the pump. You can get a new one at the auto parts store for pretty cheap.

guess it is not really hard to remove, besides the last screw on each side near the wheel well.

after that was easy ...

Fixed, Thanks
