symptoms: no fluid to front or rear windows with full fluid reservoir.

question: is there a way to inspect the washer fluid motor? any specific connector to check? can i see if it is getting power somehow? do these motors go bad?

prior troubleshooting: disconnected control valve and disconnected diverter to rear so it bypassed rhe control valve to just the front.
blew through the hose so i could hear it bubbling up from within the reservoir.
soaked the nozzles in vinegar to clear out any calcium deposits.
tested to hear if i could hear noise evidence the motor with fluid button depressed and no apparent noise.
then went ahead and plugged the diverter back IN in case there was some kind of bypass in the electrics that prevented the motor from working without the diverter plugged in.

status: i tried a google search but can’t seem to find any intel that would help isolate this issue.

thoughts? help?

THANKS
 
It is your motor could be bad, they do go bad, one of the things that destroy them is the blue window washer fluid, you could have someone push the button and listen to it, also check fuses, a new pump is not bad, also if you get a new pump and you cannot squirt the rear window, the divider is dead, you can get all of these from Toyota

hmmm. fiche is kind of confusing. the motor is part 85382-60020? looks like it is $170?
or is it 85330-60130? for $70?
i’m on the phone because internet is down due to a storm so i can’t tell what is up.

One of my original motors finally crapped out on my 92 recently. I ended up buying a donor used unit and replacing that way. I vaguely remember somebody making a similar unit from a 90's camry work. Just gotta check the orientation of the connectors.
