Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

Are the washer fluid motors known for going bad in these?
Mine has been not wanting work at times for the last few weeks. I just put fresh fluid in last week and no change. I know for a fact its all been the -32 stuff that I've put over the past few months. Today I couldn't even hear the motor trying to work.

I've had that happen to mine. I ran some hot water through it, and the motor started working again so I just kept the engine hot for a while and it hasn't bugged me ever since. They do go out though and they're a relatively cheap and easy fix from what I saw. It was freezing as hell up here earlier this winter...so stuff, including my doors froze.

Do your wipers work ? I think they are on the same fuse.

Could also the be switch on your turn signal...Mine is fussy.

The wipers and signals are working fine. When I push the lever to get fluid, the wipers move fine so I wad assuming it was the motor. The other day when it did it, after the car got really warm it worked fine.
So maybe its a fair weather motor lol.
It appears you gotta take inner wheel liner out to get to it, so maybe this weekend when it's warmer ill try it. Being as cheap as they are I don't mind replacing it I guess.

I certainly hope one doesn't, it's happened before, I didn't kill it. Killing a person's dog is probably enough punishment.

yep. it's hard to get em 100% accurate. truth be known gm didn't have them dead on either. i've done the 04+ needle swap, yeah its nice but i would never do it again or suggest anyone do it. it's just more trouble than its worth to me.

take out the 3 screws at the right front lower wheel well along the bumper edge and the wheel well will fold back. Don't mistake the low fluid sensor for the washer pump. If your not sure get the new pump first and that will tell you.

Thanks for the tip.
The tank is full of -32 fluid, so it's gotta be the pump I'm assuming. I'll tear into it this weekend.

Plans involve driving it for a while then parting it out eventually

Find the misfire issue yet?
