Anyone with some info on how i can diagnose my washer fluid system

background info:
-reservoir under spare wheel is full and not frozen
-squeezed the neck coming down from filler cap to put some contained pressure on system and i noticed an airbubble travelling somewhat through a line coming out from reservoir

thanks in advance

Does the pump run? If not check for power to the pump, if power then new pump. No power, could be switch or wiring. I pump runs could be clogged nozzle, split, pinched, disconnected hose.

2g window washing systems are stupid! mine came with a poorly installed meth system so the tank was no good. After replacing the tank and fukin around with the retarted wireing job.. I ended up with something back wards. I have to push the rear washer button while operating the windsheild washers to get it to work right. And then there ended up being all these check valve things in the hose that didnt help at all.

If you don't hear squat the pump is toast OR you've had a wire come loose some how. This is most likely at the connector and because of rust. Some how moisture accumulated under there and there is a little spot of the wire that is exposed. Mine rusted through and stopped working. Repinned the connector and BAM. All is well again.

Not usually. If the front and rear use the same tank there will be 2 pumps.

If ya cant figure it out.. You could always run a separate system.

You can buy them from CT.. Or make your own. My old 1ga had a NOS energydrink bottle mounted under the hood with a washer pump from a 95 jimmy I believe. Hooked up to a push button switch on my dash. Never found a NOS button to use.
