Check under the car for leaks.

it's hooked to the reservoir you fill up for it. All you have to do it unplug it and pull the old one out and put the new one in and plug it back in. Probably leak some washer fluid if you don't empty it out.

Pretty easy job. It has happened to me before last year. Turn the right front wheel left or right (can't remember) for more space on pass front bumper. Remove the fender liner out. Then bingo you see fluid pump. They are snap in and unhook the wire out but yeah it will leaking if you took pump out. Use big bowl if you want to save fluid to use it since you fill it up. Then re-install everything back what you just start. Good luck.

How much does the pump cost?

Can this be bought at AutoZone or do I need to
go to a GM dealer for the part?

Anyone have a part number?

You should be able to get it off rockauto.com. I would imagine autozone could get it as well.

If you want to buy from AutoZone just go in there and tell them what you need. They'll be able to look up what part it is and if they have it or not. Just tell them you need the windshield washer pump and what year your car is and everything
