rear wiper motor and front washer wiring gremlins

[txrocco at sbcglobal.net (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

1) the front and rear washer pumps are completely difference power circuits.
2) you need to pop the steering off and pull the washer arm side of the
steering (easy 3 screws, 2 plugs it comes right out, then clean the contacts
withcarbs cleaner and what not reassemble and it will fix your problem,
somehow after time the corrosion occurs and creates a non copntact surface
atop the copper plates and nothign happends (or rarely) I had the same
problem, and that is how I solved it.

3) if you have a fuse that blow when you make contact you have a short
somewhere along the line. I would check that first (pop the motor out and
hot wire it to the battery to see if it shorted inside.

=>1)    I have been trying to get my rear wiper to work but every
=>time I put a
=>fuse in it pops when I turn on hte ignition, and pretty violently too.
=>SHould I just run new wires to it or is this a pretty common
=>problem with an
=>"easy fix"?
=>
=>
=>2)    Also I have been trying to get my front window washing pump to work.
=>It only works once every like 20 times or so.  It seems to be
=>getting power
=>but maybe weaker than 12v.  I know the pump works because it was
=>working in
=>the rear.
=>
=>Cheers
