Windshield Washer Pump Replacement
Hi All,
I just finished installing a new windshield washer pump, and I thought I'd share what I did with everyone. I'm really happy with how it turned out. I had mixed results with an attempt to rebuild my original washer pump. It quit working after just a couple of uses, so I tried a replacement original pump from Orielly's with the same result. Fed up with the old-style mechanical pump, I decided to see what kind of electric pump I could find at Napa. After a bit of working, my parts guy and I found this part number 60-300 replacement electric washer pump that is designed to do exactly what I was trying to do. I bent up a bracket similar to what the original pump sits on. After a bit of black paint and a couple of screws, I was all set. The new pump hooks right into the original wiring and works perfectly. The replacement pump comes with the necessary fittings to plumb right into the exisiting hoses from the original pump. Now I have a powerful, reliable washer pump, and the cost came in just under $20. |

Re: Windshield Washer Pump Replacement
Another thanks! Pictures are worth a thousand words!
The PO of my truck took out the hoses, nozzles, and everything so I've really got to start from scratch. |

Re: Windshield Washer Pump Replacement
Thanks! I was just searching around wondering what pump would be a good fit. Perfect timing!
Any idea if it'll be a pain to wire up if the truck never had washers to begin with? I already mounted up the washer fluid reservoir/tubing/sprayers and have the knob with the push button. |

Re: Windshield Washer Pump Replacement
It's nice to have on one that costs 20 bucks and takes less than an hour to complete!

Re: Windshield Washer Pump Replacement
The original wiring connector for the washer pump has double yellow and dark blue.
On the Napa Part, with what looks to be a pink and black lead, which goes to which? I'm gonna guess: The yellow on the connector goes to the pink lead, and the dark blue on the connector goes to the black lead. Right? I'm going right now to Napa to try for this part. Going to follow your tech EXACTLY. Thanks much.

Re: Windshield Washer Pump Replacement
saving this in my electrical folder, thanks for sharing!
funny, I hear my pump running when I press the button... but the PO discarded the washer bottle so I don't know if mine actually works or not. Even if it does, this is a good upgrade. I won't even bother with the old one. Thanks!

Re: Windshield Washer Pump Replacement
Hey folks,
I just did the same mod recommended here, using a trico pump from O'Reilly Auto, but instead of building a new metal piece, I stripped off all of the old parts of the original pump and mounted the universal pump to the original metal plate. I also soldered the wires to the original terminal (after disconnecting and stripping off all of the windings from the solenoid). Sorry the pic isn't the best.

Re: Windshield Washer Pump Replacement
I just mounted a pump from oreilly's next to washer reservoir and wired it to work with push button on wiper switch so it ground's motor to run, run's on high and low speed on wiper's when pushing on switch button. Plumbed hose from reservoir to pump and then to squirt nozzle's . i removed all other hoses routing to factory pump . i left factory pump mounted as it did not work anyway.

I *think* the yellow wire is the hot one, but can't remember for sure. |

Re: Windshield Washer Pump Replacement
I went to wiper switch directly with one wire only, i put it in the wiring harness on truck, it will be ground source for pump when you push washer button For hot source for pump , i wired that to horn relay which is real close to my pump. Pump always has power to it ,but when you push washer button ,all it is doing is grounding pump motor. For me it was easier to do than mounting pump to factory pump area . If pump ever goes bad easy to change under hood.As earlier in post ,a good idea but a little more time under the dash to complete.

Re: Windshield Washer Pump Replacement
Here's an interesting option for those of us who did not originally have this option on their truck... Certainly not for the "purist", but it is a complete kit...
Amazon.com: ACI 99300 Windshield Washer Pump:...

On a non-AC truck I think just the radio would do it. Or the cluster. My point being that if you ever have easy access to this area and want reliable washers, do it when you have access!

Re: Windshield Washer Pump Replacement
I used on of those universal Trico pumps too. It worked OK but I killed it accidentally. I replaced it with a used, stock pump from a 2005 GTO. The pump was smaller but it sprays MUCH stronger which is nice to blast snow and dirt off.

Re: Windshield Washer Pump Replacement
I know I am resurrecting an old thread here, but fun fact:
If you remove your ignition cylinder, you have a very easy straight shot at the top screw holding the pump on. I used a 12" extension and a 1/4" socket through the hole for the ignition and it came right out! |
