Yeah I understand it overflows after a gallon, my problem is nothing comes out. But yeah I already checked the fuse its fine. Im pretty sure the pumps bad but Im not real sure where it is.

My washer warning light went on yesterday for the first time since I have owned the car. I picked up a gallon of washer fluid to refill it. I was amazed as I kept pouring and pouring. I kept looking on the ground but nothing was leaking out. I even looked again at the cap logo to confirm that I was pouring it in the right place. I've never had a car with such a large reservoir. I was a humorous moment though...LOL

The pump is located with the reservoir.
Down load the service manual : http://www.majormotorshotrods.com/_d...ice_Manual.pdf (this and other neat stuff is in the SRT sticky section).
Go to 8R-32 in the service manual.

I just removed my washer tank. Lined the fender and fender well area with a plastic bag misted with water to activate 3 cans of spray foam. I now have a mold I can take around to the salvage yards,searching for a smaller tank. Has anyone fitted a smaller,shorter tank in this area to save me from salvage yard searching? This tank is holding up my mods. Will be piping true aluminum ducts from the engine compartment,hidden under fiberglass covers simuliar to the new Corvette's side vent. The cover will be open front and back to remove engine heat. There's nothing in the drivers fender. I'm just not a fan of our fake strakes. There's actually rust forming behind them. The strakes are taped down on the back,but the front has three small raised U shaped areas that are wearing thru your paint from road viberations. Squirrel Crusher
