Electrical problem
2002 Pontiac Grand Prix V6 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 89,000 miles

The windshield washers stopped squirting. You can no longer hear the pump running when they're activated. Could this be a fuse or is the pump likely bad? Where is the pump located? Is there a way to test the pump before buying a new one?

Look for the bottle under the hood with the blue fluid in it, or an empty white plastic bottle, there are 2 so be carefull, read the caps, 1 is washer the other is radiator overflow. That one has green fluid. the pump is usually at the bottom of the bottle, 1st thing to check is is it full? If yes, then unplug the connector and use a voltmeter at 12volt scale, activate the washer and see if the wires show a 12volt reading if they do, the pump is bad...if no volts check the fuse!
