The washer pump is a detail of a minor size, which due to permanent operation is quite quickly fails. It resembles a small toy motor whose work, in the city bustle, especially in the rain or dirt, is simply necessary.

Windshield Washer Motor

Its functions in the car, although not large, but very important.

The task of the washer, in general, is clear - this is an additional impact when cleaning the windshield, by means surface wetting.

It may be dried dirt, insects, just dusting.

Windshield washer device

The structure of the washer implies:

• nozzles intended for spraying fluid on glass;
• pump, for transporting cleaning fluid;
• tank where the liquid is stored.

The nozzles are arranged so that the washing occurred in the center of the glass.

Many modern cars besides frontal washers, have devices for cleaning rear glasses and lighting devices.

The structure of the pump includes an impeller, brushes and an oil seal.

Despite some differences in the structure of different cars, its principle of operation and functions remain the same.

Most often, the failure is subject to nozzles and a tank.

But their repair is quite simple, in the presence of due knowledge.

Also possible is simple replacement.

In the case of the pump, more serious consequences arise. As a rule, the proper attention of this part is not focused.

Windshield washer pump does not work

You will learn about breakage when the fluid flow stops.

This problem should decide in the shortest possible time, because it is threatened by the safety of movement, since the transparency of the windshield will decrease.

But the lack of working capacity is not always due to the violation of the entire pump.

In most cases, this is due to:

• the failure of the motor. Carrying out its replacement, you should conduct high-quality cleaning of all parts, corrosion processes are eliminated to the root, with the help of stationery;
• the lack of strength in connecting the pump and the electric motor. Fixed by tightening elements;
• the presence of errors in the combination of the mechanism;
• accumulation of garbage. Here it is more expedient to carry out a simple flushing of the system, or even purge. For a better quality, it is pre-versed;
• losses of the integrity of the contours through which water is transported. Repair in this case is inappropriate, a simple replacement is carried out.

Of course, the failure of the pump is the cause of its replacement.

Most drivers have a completely logical question: how to replace the pump on their own?

In fact, this is not as hard as it seems.

From the tools, only screwdriver will need.

To check the pump for its performance, it is enough to run it for a couple of seconds.

If you exceed the permissible threshold, it will simply burn, as its activity is possible only if there is a fluid.

Initially, the location of the washer in the car structure is established.

Purpose: familiarization with information on the operation.

In some models, this information is seemingly renowned when opening the hood, in others, it is hidden and it is required to dismantle the internal protection of the wing of the vehicle.

The work process includes the following actions.

The contour is disconnected from the minus battery terminal, then the wires from the pump motor are disconnected.
