2001 L300 washer fluid not working
 
We had a really cold snap a couple years ago, when Atlanta was covered up in snow for a week. After the snow had all melted and life was back to normal, I was trying to clean my windshield. I was activating the washer fluid, but heard nothing and nothing came out. It was like it was dead.

I don't think it's the pump or motor. All the cars in the family had the same issue. I checked and replaced fuses and all was well. Mine was the only one I couldn't get to work again. I've checked the fuses and the ones marked for the wipers and all... they're fine. Is there something else I can check that isn't as obvious? I think it's a fuse, I just don't know which one...

Since you've already replaced the fuse, my first step would be to make sure the motor/pump system is running - especially since you "hear nothing"

You may just need to clean the connector. Sometimes corrosion gets into the most inconvenient places.

I got to tinkering Saturday. It ended up being the pump. It was a rather easy operation to swap them out. I did have to hard wire the new one rather than just plug it into the original wiring harness. It took me longer to go to the parts store than to actually replace it. Back to normal.

Glad your problem is solved ...

There ya go...all it takes is to go out and check things out. Damn hard for us to guess at what of a number of things it could be.
