[V8] Washer motor

[Buchholz, Steven]

... the connector for the pump quite clearly attaches to something that
looks like a pump ... the connector for the level sensor is on the
bottom of the reservoir.  

My recommendation would be to stand near the washer reservoir and have
someone operate the washers ... then simply listen for the motor.  I've
had several experiences on 5kQs where the check valve or weak pump is
the culprit ... but on both my V8s I have actually had the black fluid
line become brittle and break.  I found the washer was squirting the
strut tower when the washer was run!
