Default Windshield Washer???

Bought a 95 with 25,000 original miles on it about three weeks ago. Only one thing on this car does not work and that is the windshield washers. The wipers work and I think both the wipers and the washer pump are on the same fuse. Is it the pump or can there be a bad connection in the windshield wiper/washer switch?

Had the same problem and bought a new washer bottle and pump, of course it turned out to be the switch. Check your switch first its easier to get too

Check the rubber hose carefully. Mine was chewed by a mousie and had a hole near the tank.

The module on the wiper motor also controls the windshield washer. If there is a problem with the module it can cause the washer to be inoperative. In the Helms manual is a procedure using some jumper wires and a test light that will tell you if the wiper module is bad. Does the intermitent wiper function work properly at all settings? If not, I'd bet the module is the problem.

Thanks for all suggestions. The wipers do work at different speeds. I did chech to make sure all little rubber hoses were attached and open.
I do not hear any noises coming from the pump. I was thinking of testing pump first and then check the wiper/washer switch?????
