The window washer does not work, the wipers work fine and the washer fluid is full.

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

There is one fuse for both the wipers and washer. Since the wipers are working, the fuse must be good. With that in mind, we need to check the washer motor itself. Here are the directions. Before you go to the trouble of supplying power to the motor as described in the directions, make sure the electrical connector to the motor is clean, tight, and not damaged. All pictures correlate with these directions. The last picture shows location.

INSPECTION

1. With the washer motor connected to the reservoir tank, fill the reservoir tank with water.
2. Connect positive (+) battery cables to terminal 2 and negative (-) battery cables to terminal 1 respectively.
3. Check that the motor operates normally and the washer motor runs and water sprays from the front nozzles.
4. If they are abnormal, replace the washer motor.

Let me know what you find.

Take care,
Joe
