windsheild washer wont squirt - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**hilljob26** · 12-24-2005, 02:16 AM

alright yall,i need some help,i fially got the girl going again after a bad motor,anyway,i was putting in my washer bottle,and started to begin to make sure it worked,so that io could aim my nozzles where i wanted them,but nothing is coming out.this has sat for at least 3 years,as far as i know,there is 3 hoses coming off of the pump,i am assuming that the long one on the top is the water in and the 2 other are water out,anybody have any ideas

That is correct, and you can still buy them from GM, the washer pump that is. Randy

**hilljob26** · 12-24-2005, 12:08 PM

can you take the washer pump off seperatly from the whole wiper setup

**hilljob26** · 12-24-2005, 12:15 PM

and if that is the case,yall wouldnt happen to have an extra laying around

byrd · 12-24-2005, 12:15 PM

I think so, it looks like there is a screw point at the inlet side(small metal tab above the inlet), and then another screw piont and metal mounting tab at the opposite end of the pump.

I have a brand new GM one that I paid about $45 or 50 shipped from gmpartsdirect.com part# 4919332

**hilljob26** · 12-24-2005, 12:38 PM

hay randy,you dont by chance have a pic do ya

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-24-2005, 01:18 PM

I need to replace mine too but have not found time to stand on my head to do it, I have the washer bought it many years ago...

byrd · 12-25-2005, 10:43 AM

Mike, I will email you a picture of iot tonight or tomorrow. I didn't see you asked about a pic until now. Randy

Anita · 12-25-2005, 11:43 AM

I have the same problem--but Advance AP offers a rebuild kit.

Would that 'fix' the washer pump? Just asking vs. $50 for a new one.

Longhorn Man · 12-25-2005, 11:57 AM

Anita, welcome tot he board.
An easier and cheaper way is a unerversal replacement inline pump. You can get one at wall world or any parts store, and normally for right around 10 bucks. These give a more positive stream, and much more power too.
Personally, I have only seen one of the original style pump actually work.

gator2511 · 12-25-2005, 11:58 AM

I bought my new pump assembly at Chevy Duty for $27.95.

72k5 · 12-25-2005, 01:10 PM

Unless you're into staying original, I would second Longhorn Man. The new style electric inline pumps just work a lot better. Plus, you get to control how much gets applied, unlike the set wash cycle of the original set up.

**hilljob26** · 12-25-2005, 06:45 PM

anybody have a pic of that,what exactly am i looking for,and where do i find it,i just ordered a replacement pump,but if that is easierr to put in and works better,then i will go get one,ecpecially if i can get it in town

Anita · 12-25-2005, 09:36 PM

Hey y'all!

Something like http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductD...pe=335&ptset=A?

**hilljob26** · 12-26-2005, 12:37 AM

so do you basically just wire that up as your washer and disconnect your washer hoses from the factory washer and plumb them through that,thats pretty cool...mike

farside847 · 12-26-2005, 12:00 PM

I just replaced mine, seemed easier than trying to rebuild a 30 year old unit. New one swirts just fine!

Oh, I bought it from GMSPauls for about $25 I think...

shoobear · 12-26-2005, 12:54 PM

ok, i just got a 1970 gmc, and there is only a hose floppin around under the hood. Where did the res and pump mount?
cheers

Cat Fuzz · 12-26-2005, 01:08 PM

Maybe its not working because you have a cracked/broken hose?

**hilljob26** · 12-26-2005, 06:29 PM

mine has all new hoses and resivoir,it just is not sucking the fluid up

roger0080 · 12-26-2005, 11:37 PM

Just buy the pump rebuilt kit. All that is wrong when they don't pump is the rubber valves are shot. $5.88 and some of your time:

NAPA use to stock these. Maybe they still do?
