pretty sure I paid less than $40 for the pump & grommet.

Edit - Actually, I just checked and it was under $30 for both, including shipping.

I just had my dealer replace mine a few weeks ago because I don't have the tools to do it myself. Cost me $350 and I thought that was ridiculous.

When I bought my 2016 with 5K miles on it, in 2018, the washer pump was inoperative.
I didn’t want anyone messing with my car, even though it was still under warranty. The pump (genuine GM) cost a little over $20.00 and it took less than hour to replace. There are videos online. All you have to do is pull the left front wheel and loosen the back half of the wheel liner. You don’t have to completely remove it.

As a follow-up. Today I switched out my wheels/tires to put some more miles on the OEM wheels/tires. Took this opportunity to swap out the old pump and grommet. Thanks to this forum advice it went flawless and I’m back in business. Thank you once again CF contributors.

See post #38 above. If I recall correctly it is a generic GM part and widely available at auto parts stores.

OK, thank you for the quick response. Looks like the driver front wheel needs to be removed. Where is a good lift point for the jack.

I always jack mine on the puck. I have snap-in pucks that I permanently leave in.

Look in your owner's manual. If you don't have one, thee is a link in C7 General / Sticky Threads to a PDF version.

There is also a fuse schedule inside the fuse box cover under the hood or near the rear fuse box.

OK, then it is probably powered through the BCM. I guess you can check those fuses.

The pump appears easy to plug up. It may just need to be cleaned out per one of the posts above.

BCM (Body Control Module).

But check the front fuse box for a fuse labelled WASHER PUMP (#86 for 2019). 2016 will be a different number, same location.
