Not really, just put the new pump in, it's a cheap fix.

I HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM!! i bought mine like that too.   lol bugs the #### outta me!!   :-( neway i kinda looked around for the pump but im goin to wait until i get a book b4 i start tearing the car apart to find a little pump. Im sure that's what it is b/c there is plenty of fluid and i checked all the hoses and they seem to been together and clean. Hopefully it won't be to huge of an operation just to change out that little pump.

just need to know. have you cleaned out the nozzles first? and dont just go and put parts in that probably wont fix it even though its cheap. isolate the problem first. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

i know its the pump i cleared the lines.  the pump is in the resivor in the pasenger side front wheel well. when i pull the arm cou cant hear the pump running.  i have to see if its electrical to or in the pump but i need to find time to pull it out

i finally pulled out the wheel well last night and tested the electrical.  i tested the lines by blowng through them when i first got them.  i did an electricl test and the power to the pump is good.  a new pump from the local auto store is $22 - not to bad the pump is very small and the only problem i see is having to drain the fluid first.  ill take pics of the install and do a write up of step by step when i get it done

Pump just pulls out.  I used a pump from a s13 on my s14, only difference was the wiring harness.
