RCWD21 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 They're incredibly simple pumps aren't they? The only fault is the seal between the pump and motor housing. The alcohol in the washer fluid breaks down the rubber and then it slowly leaks inside the motor. Once it gets hot under the hood the alcohol slowly evaporates and then the water that'd left rusts and corrodes the motor and also causes the small bearing to rust and seize.

Jayhawk1986 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I've pulled mine from my pathy...now I can't find a true replacement pump...suggestions ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuong Nguyen Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 You could use an aftermarket one or take whole unit from a late model car or truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I picked up a generic Trico pump off Rockauto when I got tired of limping the one in my '95. I had to butcher the plug a little to make it fit with the stock plug but it worked in the end. They do come with the proper plug end, if you want to do it that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldone Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 Its the first motor I have ever pulled apart so I an glad this is a simple one. In the previous link they talk about replacements and I think it was just easier to repair this one. Granted its only a few weeks repaired but still going strong. again I recommend seeing the previous locked discussion, Link in OP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
