Guide overview

Before you begin

There are several reasons why washer fluid does not appear when activating the washer functions on your console. The washer fluid reservoir is empty.There is an issue with the lines or the nozzles.The washer fluid pump(s) are broken. You can check if the pumps are not working by turning on the car accessories and switching on the washer fluid function for the windshield or the rear window. A working pump should make a high pitched whining sound which is audible from the front seat. The washer fluid pumps have a separate fuse in the dashboard fuse box. Make sure to check that before proceeding to dismantle your car. This guide will now show you how to replace the washer fluid pumps. If you need to replace both pumps (or just the windshield washer fluid pump), disconnecting the reservoir is required.If you only need to replace the rear window washer fluid pump, skip to step 15 after emptying the reservoir.
