windshield washers not working, how do you get to it? - 01/29/12 12:58 PM

My windshield washers quit working on my 02 so I checked the fuses and they were good, the pump does not run from what I can tell but I see that the washer bottle is buried in the right wheel well. Is there anything else I am missing to check and if not how do I get to that pump motor? Any help would be great, this site has been wonderful for me and you people make it happen, Thanks

You'll need to remove the right front fender liner to get access to the washer pump. Jack up the car, turn the wheels to the left, remove a few screws from the liner and move it aside.

After I pull the wheel well will I just be able to change just the pump or will I need to remove the whole bottle? Thanks for the help

Pump just pulls out. Grab a replacement from the parts store. O did the junkyard route and kept getting dead ones.

That was easy, after I pulled the fender well back it was right there.
