[DML] Re: Washer Motor Question

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would remove the washer bottle, remove all the old washer fluid, and
wash the bottle out. On my car it was sitting for a long time and a
lot  of the washer fluid must have evaporated leaving a very slimy
mess inside. It all washed out easily with hot water but it is not
easy to do when the bottle is in the car. I have to agree, the hardest
part is all those damm little bolts and the inevitable ones that turn
the inserts. There is no good way to remove the bolts once the insert
starts to spin. Anything you do eventually munches up the fiberglass.
I also agree that you should test everything before putting it all
back together. It seems the more bolts that hold a part on the more
likely it will be that you will have to remove it again. While you are
in there take the harness plugs apart and clean the contacts so they
are nice and shiny. Make sure the little holes in the bottom of the
"box" are not plugged up or you can guess what will happen. If you
find evidence of a mouse infestation you have to check the wiring in
the vicinity, they can chew the insulation right off the wires! Wear a
dust mask and wet everything down thourghly and disinfect the area,
mice carry disease. Just another reason to go into all the hidden
areas of your car.
