    Washer reservoir repair or replacement ?

    I have a 96 Civic and the windshield washers have lost pressure and barely
    wet the windshield. I looked under the hood and all the hoses are tight with
    no apparent leakage that I can see.

    Thus I figure it's the motor - which I believe is attached or part of the
    reservoir. Problem is I am insure how to get to it - is it a big job ?

    I guess Honda sells the combo: reservoir & motor...

    I have the Haynes guide, but there's nothing at all on this..

    Any ideas ?

    Best regards,


    DS

    with 

    check all the hoses... unplug, and blow thru em. nozzles also get clogged,
    as well as the screen on the pump inlet.

    id bet on nozzles

    Had a similar problem before. Another idea is to check the length of the
    hose tubing for any crimping in the line. A clip holding the hose was also
    putting a kink in the line. If so, this is an easy and simple fix.

    Good luck,
    -Dave

    remove left front wheel, remove plastic fender liner,

    The washer tank and pump are behind that. The pumps can be replaced by
    themselves.
