windshield wiper fluid not working, motor ok

[jghardt]

Hi, I'm new to the forum. Had my 93 cabby laid up a few years. She out of the barn now and most all things are working except the windshield washer fluid will not. The motor has power but not pumping the fluid out. By that I mean the motor is good, it was checked on its own. Motor does not run once connected to top of washer reservoir. So I guess its the wiring and I figure that's going to be a major hassle tracing it down. Possible to by pass with some sort of direct wire to inside wiper handle? Any suggestions are helpful. It's a green/red wire that gets lost when i trace it. Maybe its directly connected to the battery? Wipers still work tho.

No it is the switch on the steering shaft. There is a contact that gets bent burnt.
Easy fix, and doesn't require removal of anything.

Here's the link.

It is probably here too.

The switch as it is out of the car.


Bending the contacts


You can bend them with the key on, but until you get it close it will engage the wipers, but not the washer common issue.
