Washer pump 01

Anyone ever changed out the washer pump (motor) on these cars? My wife has an 01 and the washers don't work. Fuses seem fine, wipers are fine, but no washer. The reservoir is down by the wheel well and looks to be a bugger to get at. Any secrets or shortcuts?

I believe there is a filter on these. Check the filter first.

The washer fluid pump will easily be changed. My mom's intrigue wasn't pumping fluid up to the window, so I looked under the passenger side wheel well and found that the pumphad just kind of popped off somehow. I don't remember if I removed the plastic from the inside of the wheel well or not? but even if I did that's easy enough. Once you look under the passenger side right infront of the wheel, you will see the pump just snapped in the bottom of the resivour. check it out

good luck

The system is not frozen is it? Mine have been freezing up on me lately.

My pump died over the summer and rather than bothering with removing the bumper, I just let the dealer steal $80 for parts and labor to get the job done.

The front bumper oddly enough isnt that hard to remove. Its just somewhat time consuming.

But...isnt the washer fluid pump accessible from the engine bay?
