Windscreen Washer Pump

Washer pump is a component of the window washer. The driver controls it with the help of lever or switch. As a rule, we speak about an electric pump that operates from the vehicle network. In many cars there are several pumps, as in most cases the rear window and partially headlights are equipped with the washers. Duplex pump can supply water for two window washers, while one pump supplies water through a single output. Washer pump location differs depending on the car model and manufacturer. In most cases it is located in the front part of the car, behind the fender. 

If the window washer does not operate, this means that the washer pump has a defect. If the pump makes noise when engine is on and water is not supplied when the hose is on, it is necessary to replace the pump. If the hose is frozen, first you need to unfreeze it. In most cases you can use the hose after this. 

If water is supplied in sufficient quantity, there is another reason of defect. The most common reasons of failure are blocked hose or nozzle. Defect appears as a result of washer pump wear. It is rather expensive to demount the washer pump as it is located in an inaccessible place. Sometimes it is necessary to demount other car parts (bumper, for instance) to reach the pump.
