    1999 Ford Taurus Help

    It appears the windshield washer pump has quit working on my daily driver.

    Anyone out there replaced the washer reservoior on a '99 Taurus SE, or have documentation on the R&R to scan and post or email to me?

    Thanks,

    Mike.

    Unreal, why dont you have someone mail you the 'how to' sheet on wiping your butt as well.

    This post sucks. Go buy a new pump and figure it out.

    ...oh wait, I just checked the third file cabinet down and low and behold: R&R for a 99 Taurus Washer pump......

    NOT

    Can't be that hard.... usually 1 or 2 bolts, 1 electrical connection & 1 hose connection.

    The hardest part might be changing the pump its self.

    I've seen many a broken washer line on the Taurus's as of late.
    (#6178 in black per FPIC)
    Call 1-800-FORD-788 and press "1". Have the last 6 of your VIN handy. You will get the numbers for FREE. You'll pay $$$ for the certificate.

    MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.

    Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

    See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.

    IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.

    They worked the other day on both sides but barely made it up to the windshield when spraying. I do not hear the pump running when pressing in on the turn signal arm.

    This would be an easy R&R if the reservoir wasn't underneath the inner fender.

    Mike.

    Check for power to the motor. I have seen Multi Function switch go bad.

    Sounds like you need to have your prostate checked. I bet Zack would line up for that one

    Sounds like either the pump is bad or line(s) are clogged.

    Try to push the washer switch with an open palm and push it in kinda hard. You can also smack the switch in with open palm as well. I have seen this work.

    Sounds goofy but it does work.
