Yes, there is another one that attaches to that one, it is in the fender. It attaches where the large hose is on the front of the tank.

No, the fender does not have to come off, but the inner wheel well does.
Several push type pins, from the back to the front, at the inner and outer edge, and underneath the front some. Then remove the plastic inner wheel well. There are two 10MM bolts holding the tank in. Be careful here, the tabs that are a molded part of the tank break very easily. The pump is on that tank at the very back. I have changed the tank a few times but have never changed the washer pump itself so I'm not sure if you can do it with it in the car or not, or how exactly how it is removed from the tank. If it can not be changed with the tank still in the car you have to remove the large rubber hose that connects the two tanks, the wiring harness, and the small hose that feeds the fluid to the cowl area.

Came across an old post where Ryan from Ohio was going to change a windshield squirter pump...I am looking for a write-up...anyone out there done this that can offer any suggestions, not looking forward to pulling off fender liners and dealing with plastic clips...I'm going out now (UGH it's 22 degrees) to check the fuses and keep my fingers crossed thats all it is.

It may just be frozen... it doesn't get engine heat out there (the dummies!)

Don't mess with it until you can garage the car for a while.

Last winter my sprayer quit as well. Turned out it was just a hose that had come loose at the very bottom.

Getting an intermittent spray from my washer fluid. Meaning, it works normally when it does work or not at all. Will check to see if any hoses have gotten loose. Otherwise is it the pump itself or something else?

What's the temperature outside, and what type of washer fluid are you using?

OK, I replaced the windshield fluid pump but intermittent problem persists. Just wondering, how do the spray nozzles comes off? I removed the screws but they still won't come off, whats the trick?

You sure this is not an electrical problem? Going from Working to Nothing might be intermittent switch?
