before you rule out the motor and the fuse is good, check the connection at the pump for quality of connection and /or voltage

 

I will tomorrow, I checked to make sure that it was a solid connection and not corroded, which it looks good. Just need to grab my VOM and check the voltage. I see ebay has one on it for $51 + 12.50 shipping. Not really what I was looking to spend. I am sure its a lot more at the dealership.

Check the dealer you may be surprised, the struts for mine were actually $10/piece cheaper there than the parts stores.

 

after doing noting about the fluid not coming out, I tried it last night and now it works. I hope it stays that way.

 

This happened twice on my previous car. If you don't hear the motor, it's the washer pump. These things die easily according to the Volvo dealership I had mine fixed at regardless of whether it's new or old. It can be good for a week the same way that it can be good for a decade.

 

I've had this happen in many of my vehicles. Sometimes the sprayer nozle can get gummed up. Carry a safety pin in your glove compartment. When it happens, poke it in the hole of the nozzle to open it up again Short of pump failure, this has worked for me every time.

 

My rear one stopped working, discovered that the hose was coming off one of the connectors under the hood, left side of engine bay. Zip tie and it works properly again.
I guess the rubber hose stretched a bit and the pressure would blow it off.

 

@Poster - the motor may be going out
@hitzy - thats crazy. So did you have to take the third brake light off and zip tie it onto the light?

 

Sorry to revive this one but I need help, I have no power to the connector of the washer pump(checked with a multimeter) any ideas of what or where can I check?
