Wiper pump quit =/
 
I'm gonna take it apart today to see if I can't rebuild it, is there anything that I should know about before I proceed? Like springs to pop into my eye or something? LOL

Hmm... I pulled that cap off of it to take a look inside, when I push the button inside a little metal peice is attracted to an electromagnet, and clicks up, but nothing else happens... It is a sort of plunger system, it pulls down and water is sucked in, then it pushes up and forces the water out, there are little rubber plugs on the cap that only allow the water in one way... I can't even get that plunger to move a bit if I push on it...

I came to the same conclusion after doing some more work on it :P Jeese, that thing is as complex as anything I have ever seen... I figured it out and came to the conclusion that it simply was too old and tired to do the job anymore... I'll see if the one off my 76 will work in it, if not I'll buy a new one.
