i would like to get my windsheild washer to work

iw an to get both my front and rear window washer to work. ther rear is totally removed (i think because there is no resovoir) and i don't know about the front. i can see on the reservoir on the front. where would the pupm be located? also, where would the pump be for the rear?

if these are removed, where coudl i go to get replacement parts?

The pump is located on the reservior itself.&nbsp If you follow the tube, it goes under the sheetmetal.&nbsp Removing the passenger side wheel well helps a lot in accessing the front unit.&nbsp The rear one can be accessed by pulling the rear carpet panel where your spare tire is located.&nbsp Remove the spare tire to make things easier.

On my old FC, the front reservoir was clogged at the pump and dint pump any water at all. Its pretty easy to get to. Just remove the plastic thats under the fender and you will see the reservoir. I forget how many bolts it has (i removed mine cuz it dint work) but just pull it out and check the pump to see if its clogged. Peace.

Watch it -everything is tied into the wiper cluster switch, which has a nasty habit of going intermittent.&nbsp I would check power leads and the switch before blaming the pump motors.

On the passenger, or drivers side?

My washer is not working on a piece of crap RX I bought too. It was mildly hit on the passenger front, which might have broke the resevoir, because when I traced the lines and looked at where the resevoir is, it's on the DRIVER'S side - with the filler cap being right in between the battery location, and the driver's headlight. Did all 2nd Gen's have it on the passenger? If it was relocated, it was a pretty good job - I couldn't tell it wasn't stock....
