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

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

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
