Them put test light on plug and noticed the light was weak and sometimes didn't come on. Then I took the switch out of the dash and opened it up. There are two small contacts inside. One each for the wiper and the washer. I cleaned both with the end of a screw driver. Works good now.

You were exactly right. I grabbed a new, used, one at the local pull n save. It works great. My son has had a clear rear window for 2 winters. thanks

dman001948 is an unknown quantity at this point

Both of my pumps (Front and Back) are in the fluid Res under the hood. The thing you put blue water in. Its a lot longer then it looks. Once you pull it out you will see both pumps, just replace the one you need to and check your lines to make sure they aren't all dried out and leaking.
