Hey all,
Just picked up my new used 06 manual xb with 9000 miles on it. Winshiled washer tank is full to the brim of fluid, but nothing is spraying out. I don't even hear a sound from the pump like you can hear in most cars. Ideas? I couldn't find a listing for a seperate fuse for that washer pump anywhere or am I missing that?
thanks

 

If it is an '06..I think I would just run it by the dealer and have them look at it...it should still have the 3 year warrantee on it...I'm sure they would at least look at it with no charge.

 

DAH... HELLO is under warranty

 

thanks Xbster, but I bought a box that had a rebuilt salvage title, so while I have a pretty neat vehicle that runs like a top with apparently no issues, I don't get a warranty

 

Thats a bad thing salvaged title.

 

Are the sprayers clogged?

 

this happened to my sis's focus (eww...) he engine burnt out of the spayer.
and actually this happened to my friends red le barron (sp)(lol)

 

Same thing happened to me with my 05. It could be the washer fluid. Whatever I put in the last time actually froze, but it was all they had at the time. I didn't check the freezing temp. I bought -20F stuff and was slowly replacing it. Just did a 200 mile trip in the sleet/slush this weekend. Pump didn't work. It sucked.

However like you said, the pump did not make any sound at all. Not even the little noise you are supposed to hear. Pure quiet, but the wipers moved. When the weather got a bit warmer (37F) it melted enough that I sprayed out the entire resevoir, and refilled with the -20F stuff. No problems even after sitting over night. I had a clean windshield for the whole trip home. And the pump makes the normal noise when its shooting.

I don't know what is freezing but it makes the pump not work in the least. If it doesn't work when its warmer then its probably broke.

 

Locate the pump- see if there's power and ground at the terminals when you call for the pump to run... You just need a cheapo meter or test light, somebody to work the switch, maybe... if that's not it, d/l the diagrams, look elsewhere...

 

what kind of deal did you get on the salvaged box?

 

rebuilt salvage= bad move.....
