93 Legacy Turbo - no front screen washer

F

fopetesl

The other day my front screen washer dies.
Both front and rear wipers work OK.
Rear screen washer OK.
CD wiring diagram shows only fuse No. 2 feeding all wipers and
washers.
Checked for power to front washer motor - nothing.
However can hear a relay clicking when I move control from stop to
intermittent. Is this significant?
Any suggestions, please.

My first guess is the pump motor has seized but you stated no power to
the motor. No power to the motor points to a failed relay.

....relay. Or possibly a loose/corroded connection. Or a broken wire. Worst
case scenario: If the vehicle is routinely parked outdoors overnight don't
discount the possibility of rodents nibbling on wires -- I had over $500
worth of damage to a relatively new pickup from rodents of some sort
destroying the wiring to injectors and a sensor.

But with luck it will prove to be something easy like a relay or the pump.

OK, guys. Thanks. I looked thro my CD and it doesn't show any relay I
could find. Which and where is this relay?
