Washer motor

Ok my wipers work fine, but the windshield washers dont work at all. I've thoroughly checked all the line by blowing throw them, and all the wiring is intact.

Is it possible that i have the wrong wiper motor, because the one in there is used? It looked just a little different than my original, but the wipers work fine (kinda slow, but adequate).

Don't know if this is your problem or not, but an old, disused washer fluid pump motor could lock up from just sitting there. Mine did that a while back and I had to take it apart to free up the impeller.

The washer pump is separate from the wiper motor. You can get a new pump at pretty much any parts store and it takes about 30 seconds to replace.
