The front/rear washer motor isn't running. There's a click coming from the fuse or relay (not familiar with it) I circled. When I try to run the rear washer function (I presume they the same motor?), there's a different click coming from somewhere closer to the firewall, although I can't pin it down just yet.

Anyone know what's up? I'm trying to find more info on that doodad. Maybe it's just gone bad and I could do a simple swap.

Ok, being the genius I am, I remembered the manual has the fuse diagram. And I also realized u was backward on my description. That relay (position 44. confirmed) clicks when trying to operate the rear washer. Fuse 4 is for the wipers/front washer, and it's good.
 






washer motor prblem

My washer motor wouldn't work on my 13 XLT right after I bought it 18 months ago. Pump was bad . Ford replaced it under warranty. They said it was a common problem. Sounds like you have the same problem.
 






Crap. I hope not. Ours is out of bumper to bumper.
