I just lost both of my windshield washer pumps. I'd be surprised if both motors died at the same time, so I'm looking for the fuse that feeds them. Can someone help me out??

THANKS!

So is the front and rear on separate fuses or not? According to the link fuse #30 says Front wiper and washer. #22 is rear wiper switch but it says nothing about washer. Am I correct to say #30 controls both front and rear washer? My rear washer doesn't work either so just wondering.

Yea the front washer pump has a hose that runs back to the rear wiper.

Can you hear the washer pumps running?

Is there any fluid in the reservoir?

Is the fluid in the resrvoir frozen?

Ref. JB in the link in post #2, #30 CB and fuse #22 are your power sources. It's unlikely that these blew simultaneously unless both pumps were frozen. It is not unheard of for both pumps to fail together however.

The only thing in common with both washer pumps is their ground. It's located on the left inner fender, near the PCM. There's two screws securing several ground wires there.

To get at the washer reservoir and pumps, remove the left front wheel, remove the left wheel well plastic liner.

I had to replace my rear pump, but did both at the same time since the original ones looked like this...
