Washer pump / Wiper motor module
Hey guys,
Here's my situation...done many searches in advance.
No washer fluid squirts.
Pump does not make a sound.
I've tried two different pumps.
Hoses are clear.
Wipers work.
Delay wipers may not be working, not sure how they're supposed to behave. They go once, but not again, it seems. I have read that if the intermittent wipers don't work, some sort of relay is toast that affects the pump. Is there a way to test the pump independently? I have little to no electrical experience.
Has anyone solved this problem as described above? Does the whole wiper motor have to be replaced? If so I won't bother.

I have the FSM, but am electrically ignorant.
How do I "apply 12V" to a terminal to test the pump?
cheers

Yes, you get to the pump by removing the bottle, which you get at by removing the little side fender. Not too bad to do, though if you can "apply 12v to the terminal" as per Agent's PDF, you can test the pump without removing, which is what I would like to do. Need someone to guide me on the apply 12v part though.
