Ok first my rear washer worked and my front stopped, now both stopped. I checked the voltage at the washer motor conector and I get Like 2 volts when I energize the front, and 12 when I energize on the back. reading the same wires at the pump.
Now I did not pay attention to polarity.How does this system work?
Does this have a RELAY?
If so where is this at? I can hear one clicking but can not find it.

Also I did pull the washer motor and bench tested it with a battery direct.
It worked fine?
Thanks

There are two relays that control the washers/wipers. They are mounted inside the passenger's side frame rail underneath the airbox. They are in a location that is prone to road muck and have been known to go bad.
 






That makes sence. I swaped two of those. Just my luck I swapped the two bad ones. are they the small ones Or the big ones? By chance know witch ones?:confused:

Thanks
 






Not off the top of my head, but do a search on washer relay, and I'm pretty sure someone put a diagram up at one time.
