I have a 1999 Dodge Dakota with the 5.2 liter V-8 engine.. My windshield washer stopped working, although I can hear the pump motor running when I press the operate button but I do not get any washer fluid onto the windshield. I attempted to remove the electrical connector at the base of the reservoir so I can either remove the pump assembly that appears to be sealed into the plastic reservoir assembly with a rubber grommet or I if I have to remove the reservoir completely so I can bench test it. The connector is on a very short lead and I can't see what I have to detent or whatever to get the connector off. I tried pulling the pump assembly out of the reservoir assembly but it doesn't look like it is going to come out very easily. I would appreciate some information on this problem and I thank you for your cooperation. I tried to bring up the usenet search engine on Google to check the archives as I am sure there is information regarding the above problems but I couldn't bring it up.
