84 pickup washer quit

Dec 22, 2005 4 Replies

Windshield washer only pumps when wipers are "on"; no more push the button and wipe. Either low or high and it pumps fine. Just push wash button, nothing happens. Need a good diagnostician's help. No fuses burnt.



Thanks Mark


Hate to say this but it sounds like your wiper switch. Joe

Need it pulled to peices and contacts cleaned. Give it a go yourself if yoru mechanicaly inclined. You cant stuff it any further I suppose.

Have you thought about buying a new switch?

The button switch is very simple --- could be dirty. The button on end pops off and there is a washer and spring inside. When you push button the metal washer shorts out and makes the connection.
