When I crashed the XJ last winter they had to put a new bottle and stuff in there. It has never worked since all this stuff has been replaced. I have looked at it a couple of times and everything appears to be hooked up correctly. I don't really know what I am looking at though. And yes, it does have fluid in the bottle....

There should be two pumps on the bottle. One for the windsheild and one for the hatch. You can test them by removing them from the bottle and hooking them to some test wire and test them off your battery. If both work start checking the wiring and the switches. I assume that sence you have trimmed your fenders you should be able to get to them fairly easy. Unless you are still using you inner fenders, tahn a little more work may be on your tray. If it is a pump motor make sure you know which one , they are specific to hatch or windsheild. I believe to bottom one is windsheild. At least thats how mine is setup. Oh and dont by a new one from parts store their like $20.00, look at local junk yard. They sell them for around $2.00 $3.50 with warranty up here. I found out too late and spent too much.LOL

ok, thanks. I didn't realize that there were 2 seperate pumps. I think that neither one are working but it has been a long time since I tried the rear. I will try that again tomorrow.
Yes, I do have the inner fenders out so I can see everthing in plain sight.

Should only be something as simple as a dud pump or perhaps a wiring issue - maybe even a connector left undone by the repairer.
Was there a lot of damage in the crash ??? .... the washer tubing is wrapped with the wiring on the ones I have ... may also be a kink or twisted section stopping water flow if the harness wasnrt refitted properly.
Everything is plugged in properly. I emptied the bottle, and hooked the hoses up to an air compressor. And blew air through them, so the hoses are not clogged. I unplugged the wires and and greased the fittings, nothing. Both the front and rear pump are not working. So, would BOTH pumps just go bad at the same time??? There was a crash but the damage was not bad, the bottle was cracked and fender bent but that was it.

Do you know how to remove the pumps. I looked and didn't see a simple way. I could spin them, so I don't know if you just pull them out or what. I figured I would as before I gave them a yank and broke the bottle.
