I have a 2000 Grand Prix and my windshield washer quit too!! Resevoir full, no sound when I push the button. I cant find a fuse either. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I haven't heard back from sweet_n_sassy. You might want to send her a pm. Basically I don't see a fuse on this from the diagram I had. I found wires that went to the back of a fuse box under the hood in the f12 postion. Most likely it is a bad pump.

I assume your wipers are working, if so the washer switch is on the same circuit. You need to get a test light and test the power to the pump. Let me know when you have one, and we can go from there.

O.k. I will check for power to the pump and let you know. Yes, the wipers are working fine. It is dark and freezing out now but I will do it asap. Thanx again!!

Take your time. If you can take a quick peak for that mysterious connector, it may help sweetandsassy.

I am taking my car to a mechanic Wensday so they can trouble shoot the problem.

I wrecked my baby yesterday. We had a severe snow storm and I was on my way home from work,I hit a slick spot right before a bridge, I almost hit head on with the bridge guard rail (cement) got away from that one and almost hit the other side head on got away from that one too except for my back bumper rubbed the cement rail and put some deep scratches on it, almost went into a deep ditch but got it under control. Considering I was only going 35 and almost going head on twice with the same bridge and going into a ditch I think I did pretty good and she (my baby) did real well.

You're most welcome. Sorry to hear of the accident. It can be hair raising. I guess you can get that "paint job" now huh? :wink:

Sorry I haven't gotten back on here before now, but I am working 60-70 hrs. a week and free time is a premium.
I will check to see if I have that connector and let all of you know as soon as I can.
Thanks for being so patient.

If you dont put ceramic pads back on, the other pads dont seem to last very long and stopping distance if affected, big time!
Thanks for all yer help, it will give me a place to start.
