Question '66 F100 - washer fluid pump

Is there a way to directly test the washer fluid pump to see if it works or if it's shot?????
Thanks for any info.

Sure! There should be two wires hooked to the pump, Use a test light to see if you have power to the pump when you're trying to spray. If you do, the pump is bad or the connections are so corroded that the pump isn't getting the juice. You can also unhook the pump and hotwire it to battery+ and -, it should whirr.
Or use jumper wires to run power directly to the pump while still installed and see what happens.
Good luck!

My 66 doesn't have any wires, it has a lever and it has to be manually pumped by my foot. It's the same W/S/W as Falcon, Mustang, Comet, Fairlane, and most every other 66 Ford I've ever seen. . . . .how did you get an electric W/S/W pump & where is the switch for it?

Every 65 or 66 I have ever seen had the electric washer pump. I think 64 and earlier had the manual pump like you have. They are rarer and you should be able to swap for an electric one.
