On my 92 4Runner, my washer fluid nozzles recently stopped working so I weant to look for the cause. I found that my previous battery had spewed battery acid all over the passenger side of the engine compartment, causing extreme deterioration to just about anything in its path. Along with that corrosion was the washer fluid pump, which basically looks like it's rusted totally away and the electrical connection to it is obviously not connected anymore.

Any idea what a new reservoir would cost? The cables themselves are in better shape that the motors, so I won't need any cabling...also, any idea where to get one of these?

Thanks in advance for the replies.

 

i replaced my washer pumps about 2yrs ago. I got the pumps from my local auto part store for $25 each. I say each cause you have one pump for the front and one for the rear. You can also check out a junk yard.

 

On a somewhat related note, I recently noticed that my washer nozzle pressure sucked. I checked out the system, and all seemed well, so I took off the nozzles, and cleaned them thoroughly. I used hot water and light soap and I was able to remove all of the old wax buildup and dirt/debris. What a difference!
