Well I checked at lunch. I didn't pull the reservoir, but I did see wires that were plugged into the bottom where the pump should be. I will need to get my wife to push the button while I listen and or feel for pump vibrations.

Also check to make sure the hoses are still attached to the nozzles. I've seen many people dump a lot of fluid under the hood because the hose fell off or rotted.

Keep in mind I (or anyone else) can't see signatures on the app.

I can hear my washer pump from sitting in the cab. (With engine off) if you can only hear the click I would check power at the pump harness. If you have power at the harness, go to the junk yard and snipe a new pump.

If you have power at pump then pump probably bad .

Every washer failure I've ever had with one of these trucks was the pump. Pull the washer fluid/coolant reservoir out. Then use a 90 degree picking tool to remove the metal ring that holds in the washer pump. It'll probably be rusty, but if you take your time and work it out slowly you'll be able to reuse it. You can then pull the pump out of the reservoir, you may need to use pliers. Plug it back into the wiring harness and hit the button to see what happens. If it doesn't spin, break the impeller free with your fingers, 9 times out of 10 it'll break free. If not, new ones are cheap.

I cant remember if mine ever worked...If I push the ****, I hear nothing. Could the pump be good with bad relay?, or just shot pump? Where is said relay? I have to investigate! lol

Your windshield washer pump in the 1995 is located under the bottom (outside) of the washer fluid reservoir.

Mine didn't work because of the wiper control module. I don't know or care why it doesn't work now.
