there is a fuse box inside the engine bay right next to the intake and also a second fuse box just under the steering column, to be honest i dont kno which fuse it is but it should say in the owners manual, i blew the fuse for my fog lights and i found it thru the manual

Is there water or fluid in the tank?

Can you hear the pump motor spin when you toggle the washer?



The pump motor might be locked up, or a hose might be broken. Fill the thing up, get a friend to toggle it while you put an ear down to listen for the pump, see if anything puddles up.

If it blew a fuse then there is likely a reason such as a shorted motor in which case you need to replace the pump motor.

If the tank is full, you hear the pump, nothing pools, then look at the nozzles and see if they are clogged.

thanks for the information. i looked in the owner manual could not find the fuse information. the top of the lid has the fuse information on it but i do not understand the abbreviations that toyato used.

You can look for the right fuse all day but that is not likely the problem. Read what I said earlier, follow the directions and report back.

i put in a after market pump it did not have any pressure (when will i learn not to use after market on Toyotas.)

the after market pump would only put water about 3 " up the wind sheld. order a toyota windsheld pump it works great. thanks for the help.
