pics of burnt out windshield washer pump motors

[ScarletFire]

After replacing two bad windshield washer pumps today, I opened the bad ones up to see if they were clogged. As you can see it looks like they both got water in them and rusted out. One was the intensive fluid pump under the hood and the other was the one under the front passenger wheel liner. I did not have to take front wheel off to get to the pump. Turning the wheel to the far left gave me enough room to get to the pump with just taking out the body panel rivets and two bottom wheel liner screws. Now I have working WW pumps. I found direct VDO replacement pumps from Autohauz for 20 bucks each. They did not require any rewiring, electrical connections fit perfect.

mine did that... the connection between the tank and pump deteriorated.. I thought the tank must be massive as it took 2+ gallons to fill. Turns out it was just pouring out onto the driveway.

I had to break open both pumps with a hammer to see the motors, I could not find any way to open them up. They seemed pretty well sealed, so I guess must rust from the fluid that is pumped through them.

My under the hood pump did the same. Leaked badly. Replacement pump OE was nearly $50.
