    BMW E46 Washer pump

    My windshield washers do not work, it has fluid in there. Do you think the little pump could be bad?? Where is it located and how do I change that sucker? I have never had a problem like this.

    Out and about, but I'll check the Bentley for you when I get home.

    Don't forget to check the fuse as well.

    Be careful messing with the fuses. I had the same problem on the wives 325CIc and put a fuse in the wrong slot. All the brake lights came on and I ended up taking it in. I usually check fuses with my test light. I connect the clamp to some metal object loke the door hinge. Then I touch the point to the both sides of the top of the the fuse. The light will come on on both sides if the fuse is good and the ignition is on or in the second position. There is a very small opening in the fuses that you can get the test light in. This time I was to lazy to stand up and walk over to my tool box and grab the test light. I saw the cool little fuse puller and thought ahh this el work, NOT, OH SHIT. god I hate when that happens.

    I think the pumps are attached to the washer box.

    Try all the basics like the above mentioned fuses and stuff first before buying a new pump. Mine was blocked by some sand one day. Do you have headlight washers too?

    No headlight washer. I will try the fuses first cause I cannot hear it trying to work at all.
