Yes i have searched

I replaced my steering column not to long ago and it was from a frie bird into my camaro, well i found out that a few wires had to be switched around for my wipers to work....DONE it works fine, except my washers dont work, the whole pupm thingy i replaced, so that should be fine (worked with other column) but when i press the spray button al pump goes *Click Click* and nothing happens. YES there is fluid and yes the hoses are hooked up right becasue it all worked fine with the other cloumn.. so im just wondering if i need to switch a few wires?

thanx

 

If it clicks the wiring is usually OK on GM bellows pumps. Normally the check valves or O rings go causing this. Sounds like the system is getting air into it somehow, also did you give it enough time to prime itself.

 

heres the thing though, you know when you press the spray your wipers automatically go on? mine dont. And the pump and everything worked perfect then i replaced the column and now it doesnt. there must be a way to get them working cause lots of people have had the wiring issue for the wipers...but i havent seen any for the washers.

thanx anyways.....maybe ol trickster knows

 

bump...... sorry i really need help with this cause i need to get it safteyd soon

 

Do you have the pulse or standard wipers on your car? I have the schematics for the 1983 camaro from the service manual.

 

I actually dont think that any wiring diagrams are gonna help because it was a swap from and earlier year to a newer yeah ( The steering column) so i guess im going to have to go play trial and error and find out whats up with it....but if anyone knows the wires thats i may have to switch around please help me

 

What year did it come out of, I have service manuals for more than one year.

 

honestly, i couldnt tell you what year......i got it from a junkyard.....all i know is that it was a fire bird....with the boxy kind of ground effects...............damn

 

bump being safteyd in a week i gotta get this im thinking it was an 89 transam that i got the column out of. So i need to find out which wires go from that to my 83 harness in the car. plase help meeeee

okay, this should help you out some. I am including two schematics here, the first one is for your 83 camaro and the second one is for the 89. There is a connector listed in both of them, it is the connector on the right hand side of the steering column under the dash towards the bottom. Also note in the second schematic that the washer motor is a separate item from the wiper motor. It is located in the washer fluid bottle.
