My windshield wiper motor works normally but the pump from the wiper fluid reservoir is not working. I used it less than a week ago and it worked perfectly. I tried to use it a few days ago and no fluid came out. I thought the wiper fluid was low so I refilled the reservoir. It appears that the pump isn't working (I can't hear it and no fluid to front or rear wipers).

Is there a fuse specifically for the wiper fluid reservoir pump -- I didn't have time to check today as I was running late for work :( Where is the electrical wiring to this pump located ?

Specs: 99 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4.0 L F/I engine -- 98,880 miles.


Any suggestions ??

Hey NJ,
The washer pump is on the same circuit breaker as the wipers. The pump is located at the base of the fluid tank. Some possibilities are the wiring connections are corroded or the pump has failed. Let us know!
