Front washing jets stopped working Options

[ksporry]

Today I topped up the screen wash wish turned out to be pretty damn empty...
After trying it out, I found that the rear jet is working, but the front windscreen jets don't do a thing.
With the rear one you can hear a pump whining, but can't hear the same with the front jets.
So I am suspecting either a broken relay or a broken pump. Can someone tell me where I can find the relay (if there is one for jet washers) as well as where the pump is located?

As for the car, it's a '94 GT with a 3S-GE engine and super strut suspension.

Thanks!

if its the same as the US GT which it should... its located behind the fender wall where the reservoir is... so where you filled it up... the pump is at the very bottom of that container

I've had a few problems with my stock washer fluid pump that is similar to your situation. The 6GC has one pump that operates both the front and rear washers (3 wire connector 12v+ front, 12v+ rear and a common ground). First the rear part of my pump stopped working, which at first wasn't a big deal. I replaced the pump when the front part stopped working (it was winter at the time in PA, you NEED fluid). The part at my local advance auto was a universal toyota-type pump which only had one output (front washers only) and a 2 wire connector (12v+ front, ground). So my front washers work fine now but the rear is disconnected. Try to get the stock pump from your toyota dealer if you can. I will either replace my pump with a genuine toyota part, or get another advance auto pump (they are cheap, about $10) and wire up dual pumps.

it's possible that the nozzle could be frozen? or clogged/covered by ice? it's happened to me a couple times this winter..

it could be, but in my case it has been 10-15 degrees C for the last 2 weeks. I think that would even defrost margaret thatcher!

Your pump is probably shot for the fronts, but if you use a hooked pic you can pull out the nezzels to the jets and use a right angle pic to clean out the orifi e where they are seated. After that just pop them back in , mine were just dribbling and it was from all the sand and salt buildup over here in new york. Reaiming is required after but you can do that with the pics. If this doesn't solve it then your pump is located in the wheel well behind the plastic cover toward the front of the wheel. It's just held in by the grommets in the reservoir. Check the hoses, my old gt had a cracked hose. Hope this helps.
