How do you change a windshield washer pump on a Cutlass Supreme 93?

Answer 1

I recently had to put a washer fluid bottle and washer pump in a 1992 Cutlass Supreme convertible that I purchased. I believe the 1993 is the same.

The windshield washer pump mounts vertically on the back side of the windshield washer fluid bottle. You will likely have to remove the brace on the driver's side, and the two nuts holding the left side fuse block to the fender. You will also have to undo the positive battery terminal.

Undo the two clips holding the washer reservoir at the front. Start to lift the washer reservoir out, and you should see the hose that is connected at the back rear of the reservoir. You can unclip the hose using a long flat head screwdriver. You should be able to see the washer pump mounted vertically at the rear of the bottle. Unclip the electrical connector and you can pull the pump straight up out of the bottle.

I found a washer reservoir and a washer pump at a "U-Pick" scrapyard and believe that I paid $5.00 for both and they worked great. The washer bottle came out of a Lumina, the washer pump from a Sunfire and I noticed that it had the same part number on it as the one in my Cutlass.

Once I had all that back together, I wasn't getting any fluid on the windshield, but noticed some running in the cowling at the bottom of the windshield. The lines were disconnected under the cowling, and by removing the panel at the bottom of the windshield, I was able to reconnect it.

Good Luck,
