Blue Print ADN10326 Washer Pump
Description
The Washer Pump is a crucial component used in the body's window and mirror hardware system, responsible for circulating washer fluid to clean the windshield.
Key Features & Benefits
This pump is pretty straightforward. It takes the washer fluid from your reservoir and pushes it up through the nozzles on your hood, so you can clean your windshield. It's an electrically powered pump, so when you hit that stalk on your steering wheel, it activates and sends fluid flowing. Some pumps also have different power levels, so you can adjust the spray—a gentle mist or a stronger stream.
It's part of your windshield washer system, naturally. That system keeps your view clear of dirt, bugs, salt, and all the stuff that accumulates on your windshield while you're driving. It’s tucked away somewhere usually near the washer fluid reservoir—often in the wheel well area or near the radiator. It’s electrically connected so when you activate the washer stalk inside the car, it gets power and starts pumping.
Symptoms, Risks & Replacements
A working washer pump is really important for visibility, and that's safety. You’ll notice if it fails pretty quickly—you’ll hit the stalk and nothing happens. It can also fail gradually; you might get a weak spray, or it might only work intermittently. A clear windshield is critical, especially in bad weather, and the washer pump is a key part of maintaining that. They can wear out over time, especially with our road salt in the winter. If yours is acting up, replacing it is a relatively simple fix. You can find a good selection of washer pumps, including one for your vehicle, over at Fixparts Online, if you’re looking for one.
