Hey guys, I'm trying to fix the woman sunfire.
problem --- sounds like motor is running but no fluid coming through the wipers.
replaced the fluid pump already and still nothing, am i looking at the wiper motor???
any ideas, and if i am looking at the motor how do i get at it
 
after you replaced the washer pump and filled the fluid reservoir, did you test the pump to see if fluid comes out of the hose?
if fluid comes out of the hose did you check if the washer nozzles are clogged?
are you using washer fluid antifreeze?
 
ive had this issue before,
top off the reservoir, have someone else activate the washer, look under the car (front drivers side) check for the pump for whirring (oh leave engine off just accessories on) if it whirrs and starts to leak, then my guess will be the hose that connects to the pump might be worn, leaky, or just fell off. (i had to ziptie mine back on). if the hose did fall off, reconnect it, then retest and if no spraying then, disconnect the hose at a early junction (i think before it goes to the wiper arms) and reactivate the pump and if it sprays from the hose that you just disconnected, then my guess is the pump works and the nozzle is clogged or a line came disconnected somewhere. My friend used a bike pump and a piece of hose that fit inside the tire pump and blew the nozzle free, and it fixed the problem.

This is exactly what i did when mine stopped working, hope my input helps.
