Test the motor by connecting battery power to terminal No. 2 and ground terminal No. 1 of the washer motor. The motor should run.
- If the motor does not run or fails to run smoothly, replace it.
- If the motor runs smoothly, but little or no washer fluid is pumped, check for a disconnected or blocked washer hose, or a clogged washer motor outlet.
