Windshield Washer Woes - Was it this? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I started to trace the tubing for my windshield washer and found this device. It is hanging off the firewall near the master cylinder. The tubing from the washer jar runs to it then two tubes out to the cowl. It has two electrical connections.

Is it an external washer pump? If not, what is it?

I would say it is a washer pump.

I agree, it is an aftermarket washer pump

yep, old aftermarket pump or came off another car...just replace it/remount a new one, replace your tubing...clean up the wiring and you should be good to go unless you want to go back to factory then that one is different and connects to your wiper motor under the dash (that likely went out and they bypassed it for the easy fix. Best of luck. Roger

I just bought a new pump at Oreilly's to go back original equipment. Its the only new part I've bought so far thats made in the USA.
