02 Yukon XL Front Windshield Washer Advice

[Adios447]

Help!... I'm new here. I have an 02 Yukon XL. I have no power to the front WW pump. The rear one works fine. Fuse is good, Any ideas??

there is 2 sep pumps on it. check your fuse and if its good then go to the tank and have some one press the rear washer button and feel the pumps on the tank. the one that doesnt buzz is the one you want to hook a test light up to to see if its getting power. if it is then you know ur pump is bad. if its not then there is a wiring issue. hope this helps.

Thanks, I have already determined that the front pump is good. I know the rear one is good because it works fine. I just don't have 12V to the front pump. The fuse is good. How do you R & R the whole tank assy?

Could the switch in the column be the problem? God, I hope not!!

r and r?

if it turns the wipers on slim chance but doesnt hurt to test it also. its not hard to get to the the front panel just pops off check the pig tail for power

By R & R I mean remove and replace. I'm kinda lost ---what panel are you saying to remove?

Thanks

oh haha didnt know what u ment by r&r

i read wrong. but to remove the tank you have to do it from under the front of the truck. not sure how yet but il be replacing mine soon due to cracked tank. il do a write up on it if theres not already one on here

Never trust your eyes to determine if a fuse is good. Too many times I have looked at a fuse only to later, after pulling my hair out, figured out the fuse was in fact bad. Either throw another in there just to be sure, or put an ohm meter on it. This is a very good habit to get in to when you have electrical issues. I always start with ANOTHER fuse, not just a visual inspection. Past that, yes it could very well be your switch, and they aren't nearly as difficult to change in later models as they were in early 90's and prior.

Great, thanks. I'll replace the fuse just to be sure, then let you know what happens.
