    Hey guys, got a weird problem on my LHS. I first noticed this issue late summer; the washer fluid just stopped squirting. The resevior has plenty of fluid, and performance of the system was fine before, nothing to suggest a clog. I didn't think much of it at the time, as I was primarily driving my Caprice, but now that winter is here, I remembered in a big way when I lovingly smeared salty crap all over my window. I am at a loss as to where I should look first. Any suggestions?

    Check the pump first I guess, running through looking for a clog doesn't matter if the pump has died.

    And the sheer number of google responses with replacements tells me it might happen a good bit.

    Boo hiss. I should have checked the goggles, but was in the mood for human interaction. Derp.

    Clearly this problem requires a rwd swap and a 318. I can't think of any other way to solve your washer fluid woes.

    Better?

    I just realized that my reply sounded emo, haha. Anyway, I assumed it was the pump, but I find that having a car that doesn't have a forum on the internet can make finding out little tricks much harder. Also, I am slightly lazy, and the thought of changing the pump in the cold is not appealing.

    What's that about not having a forum?

    when i had my 94 LHS, i got some decent (but not overly great) help at a couple of Intrepid forums. makes sense, since they are the same car with a longer wheelbase and better interior trim. they had a special section for the LHS/New Yorker and everything..

    It's a mid 90's Chrysler product, I bet the pump is junk.My Neon did the same thing. Everything looked good but it didn't make any noise when you hit the switch. Literally took me 5 minutes to replace it. On the LHS, it's the same pump and it's just pressed into the bottom of the tank.
