    Hello,

    Does anyone know where the voltage outputs from that supplies the
    front washer motor? I have no voltage output from the output
    connector, completely dead. I traced back to the connector before it,
    and still nothing. Then it goes into a big harness housing and
    continues on. I have checked the fuses but none are labeled for this
    function. Unless there is one I dont see, or a fusible link. The
    original motor was seized up, this is how I got started on this.
    Replacement motor works now (out of car), but nothing is firing it up
    when connected. Nothing is wrong with the rear motor, but of course
    that is a completely different circuit.. Thanks for any info.

    Bill chances are if the motor was seized up the fuse had blown, check all
    fuses with a test like, your owners manual should also specify what fuse
    controls what circuit.

    I am now suspecting there is a thermal fuse that may be bad that is
    inserted in the junction block. It says that it is a dealer only
    servicable item, which I'm sure is not the case. Will continue to
    investigate.

    Check fuse 9 in the PDC under the hood to see if it is blown. If the fuse
    is good you may have a problem with the BCM or the multifuntion switch. A
    scan tool would be needed to check the switch and BCM

    Fuse # 9 in PDC is empty, unused.

    Owners manual states:

    " Power windows, power locks, windshield wipers, starter relay, and
    engine relay are fused with self resetting fuses that are only
    servicable by an authorized dealer".

    How hard is it to get to the one that controls the washer pump voltage
    outut.? I've seen them before, but cant seem to locate this one in the
    '96 Gd Caravan. They are usually a shiny metal color, silver or gold
    tint to them, and usually inserted in the junction block, but none
    here. Is there a secret spot for this one that is concealed?

    Thanks,

    Bill
