I'll look at it today when I get home.
: That part number is EOAZ-17664-A. It's also available from AutoCrafters.

: : Okay. Remove the 2 bolts that hold the reservoir to the inner fender. You'll see the wires that lead to the motor, and the plug is right at the motor. Pull off the plug and check it for dirt or other foreign material. If it's clean, use a test light to determine whether or not you're getting power as far as the plug. If not, then there's a problem with the wiring between the switch and the plug. If you have power, then you most likely have a bad motor. It's been a long time since I've looked at one, but I seem to recall a snap ring of sorts that holds the motor in the reservoir. In any case, you should be able to figure out how to get it out when you look at it. If you can wait a few hours, I'll look up the part number when I get home and post it here. They're probably still available new...
: : : There doesn't seem to be any hum at all. If you could tell me how to change the pump motor I would appreciate it. Where would I check to see if it came unplugged? Thanks again

: : : : Did you check to see if the pump motor runs when you push the button? Have a helper work the washer button while you listen to hear a faint hum. Did it come unplugged? Is there junk in the bottom of the reservoir? If the motor runs and you have plenty of fluid getting to it, then there's got to be a clog somewhere (probably in the "pissers" that stick through the cowl).
: : : : : Can anyone tell me why my wiper-washer fluid won't spray? There is plenty of fluid in the resivior, but it doesn't seem to come out. Is it just a clogged line? I checked the fuse and the wipers work fine.
: : : : : Thanks for any input on this trivial "dummy" question.
