\"2013Cannot find the washer fuse for the Windshield Washer, none found in auto owner’s manual<\/a>. Washers don’t work, even though wipers do. No motor noise and fluid is full. Where is the fuse? what number is it?<\/p>\n

\n

RESPONSE<\/p>\n

There is not a separate washer fuse. The washer receives its power from the windshield wiper motor. So if the wipers work, the problem is not fuse related. Either the washer pump motor has failed, the connections or wiring are faulty or the internal relay in the wiper motor has failed.<\/p>\n

Mist Wipe\/Windshield Washer Operation<\/h3>\n

When the washer switch (on the end of the stalk) is momentarily pressed and released, a single wipe of the windshield wipers occurs. When pressed and held in, the windshield wiper motor activates the wipers and the wash relay (internal to the windshield wiper motor), providing voltage to the washer pump and directing washer fluid to the windshield. After the switch is released, the windshield wiper motor continues to activate the windshield wipers for 3 additional wipes and then turns the windshield wipers off.<\/p>\n
