Just bought the car and does not squirt juice on the windshield. Have a feeling that it's the motor for the front. Back on hatchback seems to work fine. Is there an easy way to get thye old tank out without removing the bumper?

First of all, do you hear the motor attempt to pump? Is the fuse ok? Next, I would take off the tubing and see if the unit sprays fluid. Sometimes the lines get plugged at the bottleneck which is the spray nozzle. Clean the lines if the unit pushes out washer fluid.

Thanks. Good suggestions. I'll try them, but I think the fuse also protects the wiper motor - it works.
