    Installed "new" multi function switch. Still to washer pump juice, so I'll probably now have to rig something up directly from the battery to give me juice. Or just keep a bottle of window cleaner in the car.

    Did you run the wiring to make sure there wasn't a short? Or pull the hose off and see if it's spraying down low and maybe is pinched off up higher?

    How is 21mm odd size? If you own a GM you better own metric sockets and wrenches. 21mm is almost the same as 13/16. 21mm/13/16 are usual lug nut sizes.

    Just because kits don't come with it, doesn't mean its an odd size. Everyone should have a 21mm.

    And a lot of other cars have a 21 mm lug nut. This is the first car I owned that had a 3/4 lug nut. Now I have aftermarket lugs and can use either 19 or 21 to remove them.

    It's not the hose, as I could blow from end at the wipers and get quite some bubbling in the reservoir. It's possible it's a short, but I'm not in any hurry again to take out the wheel well cover and mess with it again. At least not when it's 100+ degrees outside. The motor's not running at all, so it's electrical in nature somewhere. The low fluid light comes on fine, so it's restricted to just the pump line.

    Thursday I drove it to work. Got a call from my lawyer that he got a comtinuence on my trial.
    Today drove it to Lowe's and got behind a new Camaro ZL1 just sold yesterday. Guy was pass retirement age.
    He drove it like he had a goldfish on the seat. I did NOT challenge him.

    Today she rolled over 122k miles. And I put the 3rd tank of gas in 7 days. I can tell the prix was the errand runner at work this week since both bosses trucks were gone. Good thing gas is cheaper than almost $4 gal.

    And she needs an oil change, whoops. Next weekend, hopefully.
