RE: E36: windshield washer not spraying water

Brendon,
	The windshield washer pump motor is a common point of failure on the E36.
The good news is that it is less than $30 (less than $20 if I remember
right) and takes about 3 minutes to replace.  Get the pump and rubber gasket
from the dealer.

Subject: E36: windshield washer not spraying water


My driver side window washer stopped spraying water today
(my car sat for a week in my garage, and worked fine before
I left for a trip). Stuck a pin in to perhaps unclog it, but no go.
Water burbles out, but that's it.

Is there a motor that may have gone bad?
Or loss of pressure in the water hose that feeds the water
to the washer?
Ideas anyone?  Fixable on my own without going to the dealer?

TIA,
