Hey all...my '85 wagon has working windshield wipers, but the washers do not work at all.  From experience is this usually a switch or the washer motor? I'm getting tired of throwing snow on my windshield!!

Thanks!

I like to to tell people my Eagle is like a Ferrari. It's quirky, tempermental, border-line exotic, and something you don't see everyday.  See? Makes perfect sense....

This may not help but one thing i did find out from my whole deal is if anyone is having electrical issues should expose ALL the wiring and soldier EVERY factory splice! there are lots of them, both + and - wires. i was shocked they were factory and soldering them fixed almost all my electrical issues. now that i think about it more even if you are not having problems i would still do it!

I'm in a similar situation. Took me a while to notice I had a broken bottle and soon after I pulled a replacement from a Concord, my connector is garbage too. I saw nothing like this I could pull from the Concord. Any way to replace this or am I going to have to use the classic AM wiper fluid bag?

The classic AM bag would be cool.  Which connector are you talking about?

I'm really not sure which direction the current is going due to the mess of wire splicing that should be eliminated but the connector is a simple brown two-prong connector that goes to the top of the bottle. I'm not really sure what it operates but I know the wiper fluid doesn't seem to move without it.

Would someone be able to post a pic of the connector? Is it on the bottom of the tank? I was feeling around a little and didnt seem to see/find it. Do you have to unbolt the tank? My tank isn't cracked...the same fluid I put in months ago is still there  :-\

It's not hard to unbolt the washer tank.  The pump obviously mounts through the bottom, and that's where the connector connects to the pump.  I've bought new pumps at Advance.  The biggest problem I've had is washer fluid draining all over my shoes!
I'm right 98% of the time, and I don't care about the other 3%.

Perfect. That sounds reasonably easy.  I'll let all know when I attack this.
