No sound at all and no spraying from the nozzles of the windshield fluid nozzles. Where is the motor on these underneath the car?

Yep, it sounds like the washer motor has gone out which is common. Here is how to do the job in the diagrams below. Check out the diagrams (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.

Hi,

I noticed we haven't heard from you for a couple of days. Have you made any progress? We're interested in knowing.

As far as the bumper, things are getting a little crazy anymore. So many newer vehicles require bumper cover removal for headlamp replacement.

Regardless, if you have a chance, let us know.

Take care,

Joe

What am asking is, do I have ti remove the bumper cover just to replace it? Based on what the manual says?

Hi,

That is required to access the pump. I attached the directions specific to the removal of the front bumper cover for this vehicle. Install is the reverse of removal.

Let me know if it helps.

Take care,

Joe
