The HACK

Which fuse govern the windshield washer pump? When I pull the stalk I don’t here the normal whirl of a pump.

for that matter, where IS the spray nozzle?

May not be a fuse, pretty common for the pump to fail. Had mine replaced under warranty with less than 2k miles. If not under warranty I hear it's a pretty inexpensive part ($20) and not too difficult to replace.

Oh and it’s behind the drivers side fender near firewall.

I had mine replaced as well, its a common part used in other GM vehicles so its not specific to Corvettes.

I live in Sunny Tucson AZ, what's a Windshield Washer Jet Spray?

Vetteman Jack

The spray nozzle is at the end of the fat part of the wiper arm - just lift the wiper arm up and follow the rubber hose that goes from the pump to the nozzle.

The HACK

Is this it?


According to the parts DB:

PN 22999423 is the number for the pump?

Foosh

I didn't realize there was were no insects or dirt and dust in Arizona. I did realize garage queens rarely, if ever, need windshield washers.

Ouch!!!!’ 😜

22999423 is the part number on my invoice when they replaced it at the dealer.

LuisZ51

Damn! I felt that one all the way over here in Florida

Kvou812

That's the same part number on my invoice when the dealer replaced mine as well.

fill the reservoir and see if a puddle form on the ground.

Indy Jim

My pump went bad at 4,000 miles.

They make little blue pills you can try to help that.

The HACK

That's an interesting proposition...I would suspect if there's a crack or leak from the reservoir, and the reservoir is dry, that the windshield washer level sensor would trigger a warning light on the dash?

Or is there a windshield washer level sensor present?

tcinla

That's the issue I have and no dash light so I doubt there's a sensor for wiper fluid. That would be over-engineering... but cool.

The HACK

Really? It WAS the pump? 2,7xx miles in and 7 months into the ownership?!

I was fixing to get the front stage 3 splitter buttoned down. In my haste to make the video I left the last 2 bolts out on the splitter to make it easy to install the stage 3 extensions, but in reality I didn't need to so I jacked up the car today, put the two bolts back in, and while I'm there...Lifted up the front of the car, remove the driver's side front wheel, peeled back the liner, and popped the new pump I bought last week in.

Fired up the car and pulled the stalk, and lo-and-behold...Jets of water coming out from underneath the wiper arm.

Sigh.

Marcho Polo

glad it's working! Mine went out with 1700 miles on it!

There has to be a sensor when mines low it tells me. Its annoying till I fill it up
