Windshield washer pump on '95 90Q

[Fred Munro]

Hi Joel;

I had the same symptoms on my '94 S4. The windshield washer pump motor had
seized. Washer fluid leaked past the seal and the shaft seized to the lower
bearing.
I replaced the pump but did manage to repair the old one. It comes apart
fairly easily and I lubed and freed up the motor.

So the windshield washers on my '95 90Q have recently stopped working and
I'm on the
case to find out why.  At first I thought simply low fluid levels, but
topping the
tank off didn't help.  I don't hear the pump turning on when I pull back
the lever
as I remember hearing in the past.  I'm confident the wiper stalk switch is
OK
because the headlight washers work properly.  I checked the fuses and
everything
looks fine there as well.

Any common culprits to go immediately after when I start the detective
work?  Also,
what's the best way to access the pump location and washer fluid tank in
general
(down from the top, up from the bottom)?  Thanks in advance,

Joel
