Window Washer Pump

A window washer pump, also known as a windshield washer pump, is a component of a vehicle's windshield washer system. It is responsible for pumping washer fluid from the washer reservoir to the windshield, allowing the driver to clean the windshield for better visibility.

The pump is typically located in the washer reservoir or near the bottom of the windshield washer fluid tank. It is powered by an electric motor and is activated when the driver activates the windshield washer switch or lever inside the vehicle.

When the pump is activated, it creates pressure that forces the washer fluid through the washer hoses and out through small nozzles located on the hood or windshield. This spray of washer fluid helps to remove dirt, dust, and other debris from the windshield, improving visibility for the driver.

Window washer pumps can vary in design and capacity depending on the make and model of the vehicle. Some pumps may have multiple outlets to spray washer fluid on both the windshield and rear window, while others may have adjustable nozzles for different spray patterns.

If a window washer pump fails or becomes clogged, it may result in a lack of washer fluid spray or weak spray. In such cases, the pump may need to be replaced or cleaned to restore proper functionality.

Overall, the window washer pump plays a crucial role in maintaining clear visibility while driving by ensuring that the windshield can be cleaned effectively.
