    Hi all. When I use the the washer, I don't hear the pump and there's fluid in
    there. Does anyone know if the pump is fused or does it sound like the pump
    went south? TIA.

  2. What year and model of Honda?

    In my '93 Accord, one fuse controlled both the washer and the wiper delay.

    '96. So the intermittent wiper didn't work either? I'll check that this morning.
    Thanks.

  4. And if that fuse is OK, then it's the washer pump itself.

    The intermittent wiper position works fine. I haven't had a chance to check for
    blown fuses though. Will do this weekend. Thanks all.

    Believe it or not, it started working when the ambient temperature increased.
    A Honda tech told me that the motor will seize when frozen therefore, no
    sound making you think the motor went belly-up. Go figure. Thanks anyway.

  7. why not use windshield washer fluid that won't freeze?

    sounds like common sense to me, but then again, I live in Winnipeg.... lol ;)
