Test the motor by connecting battery power to washer motor 2P connector terminal No. 2 (No. 1) and ground to terminal No. 1 (No. 2) of the washer motor. The motor should run.

If the motor does not run or fails to run smoothly, replace it.
If the motor runs smoothly, but little or no washer fluid is pumped, check for a disconnected or blocked washer hose, or a clogged washer motor outlet.
