Re: Windshield washer pump help
Idk I trIed it this morning before I went to school and it didn't want to work . I'm hoping maybe it just came unseated from the housing or something. What kills them though becUse I wasn't using it at all, after I ran out I never touched the switch exudes turning my wipers on

Re: Windshield washer pump help
I have a completely stock 305 TPI with factory exhaust and I pretty much have to replace my pump every year. Maybe it's the location being close to the exhaust that's a problem, but it's like feeding the cookie monster.
