    Me again,my washer pump has never sprayed water dispite everything working. Ive changed all the seals thinking it was a vacuum problem? If not, does it need priming? and how would you do that? :Dou:
    The lines arent blocked as ive blown water through them.

    Did you poke pins through the nozzles? Disconnect the lines from the nozzles and check that while having someone push button. If still nothing check the rubber line leading to jar. Check filter in jar. try with out it and see what happens. If it still does not work I would say relapce the pump. Sometimes they just go and replacing the seals does not help. I have been there.

    I thought i could be mistaking the wiper arm motor "noise" as signs of life in the pump. But when you flick the switch on the dash you can hear it buzzing. I really dont know why its not working?:spank:

    i would guess that the pump is shot. u may be able to rebuild it. i had the same problem back in 2000. what i did was buy an electic pump that replaced the original washerpump. fit right in. works like a charm and no one is the wiser. besides, it is a royal pain in the ass to replace the washerpump with the original style. u require the manual to do it correctly.

    Saw a pump on ebay for $35 under Buick GS parts.

    these "universal" kits are available from Rockauto.com

    just look up your car and when you get to washer fluid pump, its there.

    If it ain't there for your car look up the 64 Wildcat. I know it's there for mine.
