I have a friend with a 2001 accent 1.5 and the washer pump does not work.
I told him to replace it but he checked it and the motor in the pump is fine as well as the switch has any one had this issue and found there was a relay or something else causing the moter not to work?

I had a similar issue with my 2002 and even though the moter looked good it was rusted and corroded inside,

 

So when he activates the washer switch, does nothing happen at all? or does the pump activate but no fluid is dispensed?

 

Nothing happens at all,

 

The switch is good, the pump is good, but no power. Hmmm. The bumbleberry surely has checked fuse #11, so I will assume that is not the problem. I'm afraid it is time to dig out the voltmeter and start tracing lines for voltage. I would check the hot side of the fuse first and work back from there.

 

Thanks for the help, It is actually a friend of mine who has the car and knew I was a member here, I sold my Accent last year but still check on the site from time to time.
Someday I plan on picking up an other Accent.

 

Do the windshield wipers work? If so, then fuse #11 is OK and I would assume power to the switch in column is OK too.

 

I have a 2004 Hyundai Tiburon GT V6 and when I first bought the car in Feb. 2008 the washer fluid pump worked in the front once in a while but mostly not at all. The back never workedat all. Now neitheris working at all. I don't hear any noise when I try to use it so I assumed the motor had to be the issue and was just going to get a new one to replace it. I was going to have my husband just replace the pump motor since it is so cheap to buy and (I've heard) relatively easy to replace yourself. So there ARE other things it could be besides the pump motor? The wipers front and back work just fine still....

 

On the Accent, the windshield wipers and the washer circuits are protected by the same fuse. I've repaired washers on various cars by replacing bad pumps, replacing bad switches, rewiring the power and ground connections at the pump, splicing cracked or broken fluid lines and unpluging emitters. Yes, there are several things that can go wrong but they are usually easy to trace down.

With Bumbleberry, he was a third party relaying info between the owner and the forum. Sometimes symptoms are not communicated clearly. I still suspect a bad pump or corroded connections on the pump. The pumps are mounted on the bottom of the tanks and often exposed to humidity and road grime.
