Washer pump
Ever have one of those moments when you wake up in the middle of night, sit straight up, and realize you've solved a problem that's been stymieing you? I had that last night, but I don't know if I'm right yet. I even emailed myself so I wouldn't forget.
Anyhow, as I near completion of my complete reassembly I've discovered my washer pump doesn't work. I siphoned water right up to it so it doesn't have to work to prime itself, but no luck. I'm wondering now if the washer nozzles got plugged with media when I had them in the vibratory tumbler. That's my hope and my "big idea". Easy enough to check. Before I do, though, a question: I can -hear- the pump operating. It does it's little thing. I've heard that if the 'cam' isn't aligned with the motor the pump won't work, but would I still hear it? That's the question - I'm trying to rule out the pump cam as an issue based on the fact that I can hear something going on in there... I really don't want to replace it. I have AC so it's a nightmare of packaging with the crazy air tubes, vents, radio, speaker, washer pump, instruments and everything packed in right there.
