maineiac Posted February 9, 2008 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

It is an older car and these things tend to plug if not used .
maineiac Posted February 9, 2008 Author Posted February 9, 2008 Thanks - I can't hear the pump, so unhooked the lines and tried, no fluid comes out.???

maineiac Posted February 9, 2008 Author Posted February 9, 2008 Thanks DC - I appreciate the info...Scott Anytime, BTW Welcome to the club Enjoy your stay, These forums are full of useful info. ;) Alright, replaced the pump - easy job - ALAS - still not working. Anyone know if there have been problems with the wiper switches in the steering column? What kind of a !Removed! project is that going to be to replace? Thanks...

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.
