Washer not Washin'!
Washer not Washin'!
<HR style="COLOR: #666666" SIZE=1>Hi All....first post. Did a search but found nothing like my problem. 98 explorer XLT. No windshield washer front or rear. Wipers OK. Put 12v from battery directly to the pump. Pump is fine. Fuse #12 7.5 amps is fine. Don't think it's the multi-function switch cause the rear doesn't work either and it has a separate button on the dash. Is there a relay that controls this pump? Owners manual shows relays in the relay box under the hood but they are called #8-rear wiper motor,#1-wiper park,#3-wiper hi/low,#8-rear wipedown,#10-rear wipe up. These are the only relays that have anything to do with wipers. Owners manual shows no relay labeled washer pump or anything like it. It does show one relay labeled #4 PCM power relay. Could this possibly mean 'Pump Control Module'? (just guessing) This should not be this difficult to troubleshoot. Any ideas?

Yours May Be Different....
I looked in my Haynes (up to 97 Rangers) & in the in-cab fuse panel, space #12 is a 10A fuse for "Front Wash System".
Look in your owners manual to see if there's a similar listing????

Thanks for your response! On my 98 XLT it looks like my #12 is for both front and back washer system. I have access to the dealer wiring diagram so I'm going to check to see if there is a hidden relay that is not listed in the owners manual with the other relays. I think 97 had two relays for both front and back washers but I can't seem to find ANY relays listed for 98 washer. I wonder if it is simply fused from #12 to the wash motor? I'll look more tomorrow. Frustrating!
