Re: Washer Pump

After wiring in the new pump and rerouting the washer lines, the pump would fire up but not pump any fluid.
So... after checking everything again I pulled the cap off the reservoir and blew out the lines.
DOH !!!
The short piece of tubing from the cap to the screen pickup on the other end was worn out at both ends, which prevented the hose from getting adequate suction, which meant that no fluid was getting to the pump. I replaced that piece of hose and it pumps very well now.
At least I don't have to listen to the "clunk, clunk, clunk" when the stock pump cam does it's thing.
While I was under the hood, I rerouted the power supply to the relay for the supplemental electric fan from the secondary start battery to the primary battery since I am not currently using the secondary battery.
