maineiac Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Just purchased a 1990 ES250 (awesome ride). The windshield washer pump apparently is not working, as the reservoir is full, but the fluid doesn't make it to the windshield. Can anyone advise me where the pump is located? I traced the hoses back to the passenger side of the engine compartment, where the hose disappears into the firewall and possibly under the dash or behind the glovebox? Thanks for any assistance you can provide...Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an older car and these things tend to plug if not used . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check to see if there is power to the pump, Is the connector intact? Wires loose ? You can find info on the es250 easily enough. It is just like that year camry in many many ways.
