Windscreen Washer Pump Replacement

Windscreen Washer Pump Replacement

What is the Windscreen Washer Pump all about?

The windscreen washer pump is a small electric water pump. When the washer pump is activated, it takes the washer fluid from the windshield washer reservoir and directs it to be sprayed through the washer jets onto the windscreen. It is an electrical component that can fail over time. If you donā€™t see any fluid coming out of the washer jets when you activate the windshield wiper switch, ask the mechanic to check the tubes for cracks and the nozzles for clogging.

Keep in mind:

Whenever the windscreen washer pump is repaired or replaced, the entire windscreen washing system should be inspected. Itā€™s possible that the nozzles or the wiper switch are actually the cause of the problem.

How itā€™s done:

  • Test operation of the wiper switch.
  • Make sure the nozzles are not clogged.
  • Test for power and ground at the washer pump.
  • Remove and replace the washer pump.
  • Test for proper operation of the washer system.

Our recommendation:

The windscreen washing and wiping system is usually not inspected during routine maintenance. However, anytime a part of the windshield washing and wiping system is replaced or repaired, the windscreen washer pump should be checked. If you notice that your vehicle is having a hard time spraying wiper fluid onto your windscreen, you should schedule an inspection.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Windscreen Washer Pump?

When the washer pump is activated, washer fluid doesnā€™t spray on the windscreen.

How important is this service?

Your windscreen washing system is designed to keep your windshield clean and your visibility high. When you pull the windscreen washer switch on the steering column, the windscreen washer pump is activated. The windscreen washer pump is an electric water pump that pulls washer fluid from the windscreen washer reservoir and sends it to the washer jets, where it is sprayed onto the windscreen through nozzles. This washer fluid acts as soap, and the windscreen wiper blades then wipe it off. This process cleans your windscreen of any dirt and debris that has accumulated on it.

When the windscreen washer pump malfunctions, washer fluid will not be sent to the washer jets, and your vehicle will not be able to spray washer fluid onto the windshield. As a result, your visibility will decrease.

Great Service from Dee

Dear Fixr Team,

I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the exceptional service I received from Dee, one of your customer agents.

Deeā€™s professionalism and quick response time were outstanding. He provided detailed quotes promptly, answered all my questions with clarity, and ensured I felt confident about the process. His excellent customer service turned what initially felt like a risky decision into a completely positive experience.

To be honest, I was hesitant about using the website at first, unsure if it was legitimate or a ****. However, thanks to Deeā€™s assistance and Fixrā€™s reliable service, I am thoroughly impressed. Itā€™s refreshing to see a platform that truly delivers on its promises.

Thank you for the incredible support. I will gladly recommend Fixr to others and will not hesitate to use your services again in the future.
