Washer motor fail

[redeyefighter]

Both front and rear washer motors quit, any ideas ? Fuses seem ok. Both quit at same time, but wipers still work....Thanks in advance....Terry

replace the pump or check the wiring?
Only have one pump same location coming out of the same place so should be fairly easy to check:shrug:

One pump for both front and rear.

What year model is your KJ....I can look up the circuit diagram for you!

As stated...one motor does the work for front and back....it simply changes direction.

You can pull out the motor from the bottom of the water bottle....access is usually from inside the right front wheel-well and see if the motor has seized up solid. Put 12 volts on it to see if it runs....flip the voltage over and it should reverse.

There are some water valves involved which can get blocked if the motor does turn. Are you sure the water bottle is full? There is a sensor inside the bottle that has a floating hinged section that contains a magnet. This magnet touches on a reed switch to warn you the water is empty.....my magnet section has fallen off so I do not get any "water empty" messages.

Sometimes the connector on the motor gets knocked off as it is near to the ground....check it is on tight.
