No longer have my owners manual, and the windshield washer no longer works. Need the location of the fuse if anyone has it. Thanks.

There is not a separate fuse for the pump. It is powered from the wiper switch. If the wipers work, it’s not the fuse but FYI the fuse is #14 in the block behind the glove box. You can see if the brown wire to the pump gets power when you hit the washer switch. If not probably the switch is bad, if it gets power then the pump is probably bad assuming the black wire is grounded as it should be.

Thank you very much. :thumbsup:

Second guessing?

Hey guys, this thread is probably what'll get me home with mine, but I have a twist I want to throw in. I have an '01 TJ and I recently had horn and washer pump quit on me at the same time. The trigger, I now believe, was losing my left front turn signal bulb to a cracked housing that filled up with water. I'm no electrician, but I'm guessing that would be bad for everything sharing a ground with that bulb, right? Sorry for the elementary question, but when it comes to electric you have to explain it to me like I'm 4. Thanks!

If the ground is good, the bulb problem shouldn't affect any other circuits. But if that ground was bad and, the ground for the horn and washer pump was being scavenged via the bulb that may explain loosing the horn and pump when the bulb problem reared it's head. Clean up the ground and see if that gets the horn and washer pump working, and obviously sort out the cracked housing and the bulb socket which I expect is corroded.
