Auto Parts: windshield washer fluid, windshield washer fluid, windshield wiper fluid

Question
The windshield wiper fluid will not pump to the window. The wipers work in all functions including when pulling back on the lever to release the fluid. It is an Infiniti I30 1996. Is this as simple as a fuse or relay or do you think the pump is dead? I do not hear any noise indicating that it is trying to pump fluid. Which fuse or relay would it be as I can not tell by the description on the inside of the fuse panel. Thank you for your help in advance.

Answer
Hi James,

Sounds like the pump went belly-up. Time for a new one. If it were a fuse, several items would not be functioning like the park lights or the horn or something else you'd notice.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
