TECHNICAL
Subject:
Windshield Washer Inoperative (Repair Washer Pump Grommet)
Models:
2003-2005 Chevrolet SSR
Built Prior to VIN Breakpoint 5B116842
Condition
Some customers may comment that the windshield washer is inoperative even though solvent remains in the reservoir.
Cause
The cause of this condition may be due to the screened portion of the washer pump grommet becoming restricted. This restriction allows air to be trapped in the pump and then the pump loses its prime.
Correction
Remove the washer pump and grommet from the reservoir, cut the tip (lower screen portion) off of the grommet and reinstall the grommet and washer pump. Refill the reservoir and check windshield washer operation.
Warranty Information
For vehicles repaired under warranty, use the table.
