Start by tracing the washer lines from the wipers. Should find a small pump in the wiper motor housing. Probably that but trouble shoot it anyway.

I'd just get a new generic pump, hook the pump hoses & wires up to it, and abandon the factory one. Oh wait... I already did that.

Re: 89 Trans Am - No washer spayer

Ive grown to hate the wiper motor mounted washer pumps on these cars. generic aftermarket or the intank pump set ups are better
