window squirters not working (searched)
I cant seem to find why my windsheild squirters wont work. I tested the motor by giving it 12v power, and it runs. The plug that hooks up to the motor i tested with a test light. When i do that, one lights up, and the other makes the wipers move, only of course when the control stick on the steering colomn is pulled back. I also tested voltage at the plug leads, which were 11.5, and 12.5. The lines are clear, so thats not it, and when i plug the motor into the connector and pull the toggle thing, it wont spin. resistance at the plug is around .11ohms i believe. Also, when i plug in the motor and test the plug with a test light both leads light up the bulb. BTW this is on my 85 FB 12A, can anyone help? Thank you very much.

the pump is good. I said in the first post that i tested it and it runs just fine. also, there are no leaks. when i plug the pump in and try it when its removed from the tank it wont turn, but if i give it 12v power it will run.

Take a look at the FSM herehttp://www.wankel.net/~krwright/cars/rx7/manuals.html it should have a procedure to properly test the combination switch with a ohmeter, becuase I suspect that's your problem. Mine went on me too and I was able to dismantle and repair the switch. There's a very week little plastic tab the stock pushes on the close the contacts for the washer switch. It was broken on my car and I was able to glue in another peice of plastic to replace it. That worked for a few months. I'll be pulling it out and fixing it again soon so stay tooned.
