Mine is connected via the washer pump. I didn't have to remove the reservoir, just the driver's side front wheel and fender liner.

Is this with the flow sensor installed that it won't work? If so, have you checked the very tiny filters in the flow sensor to ensure they're not gooped up? I recall you use windshield wiper fluid and Richard at Aquamist says is a no no and will cause the flow sensor filters to stop up and shut down the system. The pump will pump but no fluid will come out. Happened to me so it's worth a look.

What the crap? What are you supposed to use if you want a 50/50 mix? My whole plan was that I would use wiper fluid because it was easy to get and no hassle. UGH what do they say about the best laid plans? I don't even know if I said the expression correctly.

the best thing if you want a thing close to 50/50 is boost juice which is rated at 49% methanol and 51% water i would buy it if i didnt have to buy a case of 4 only to get slammed with nice size shipping expense. other than that, mixing it yourself.

Um, guys. This thread is almost 4 years old.

Since installing the pump back then, it was worked flawlessly, not *one* problem. Using windshield wiper fluid every day

I also found the perfect mounting spot for the pump (again almost four years ago):
