So it's been shown before by me and some others but there's not a specific thread on the subject, so here it is.

Go down to your local Auto Zone and pick up a 9-300 Universal Washer Fluid Pump for about $11.00.

When you unpack it, you'll see that it has a plastic foot attached to the back end of the pump motor. You'll want to cut it off. Use a dremel with a cutting disk or a simple hack saw. Try to keep the cut close to the body of the motor, so it'll be able to slide thru the rubber boot of the washer fluid bottle.

Remove your old motor by disconnecting it and sliding it out of it's rubber boot. Now take a small drum sander on your dremmel and Hone out the inside of the rubber boot, making sure to remove the motor retaining lips from both sides of the lip. Hone it out till the new motor will fit in there snug.

Insert the wires into the rubber tube from the front and pull them through and then force the motor in till the rubber boot just touches the plastic pump part of the pump.

Connect the tube of the resevoir to the tip of the pump (pointing outwards)

Connect the tube that goes to the washer nozzles to the other tip that is now pointing down.

Connect the white pump wire to the Black/yellow wire from the harness

Connect the Black pump wire to the black wire from the harness

Make sure to cut off the excess wire so it don't look ugly.

Slide the resevoir back into its holder and you're done.

Hey thanks for the tip it worked out great I went to Auto Zone with that number, well they don't sell Trico, but they typed the number in and found the match from TAAP CORP (their part number 5-642), USA made for $14 and change. The only difference I can see the the wires which is easy to fix and the numbers stamped in the side are different. Here are some pictures also the old pump is always on the left.

Tomo, Versing,

I had the same issue (no rubber piece) and replaced mine with the same autozone unit Zs used. My repair wasn't as elegant or as good, but it worked OK. I just wrapped the pump with electrical tape to almost the ID of the clip area on the tank, and wrapped some rims on either side. Then I finished off with a couple of wraps around the whole thing. It's a bit wobbly when clipped into place, but it stays.

Wish I had the rubber thingie. :(

OK I made the mod the longest part was waiting for the iron to heat up. I pried the tabs up, melted the solder. On the old pump and the new one. Then I bent the tabs back with the old wires on the new pump and welded it together. Once the soldering iron was warm it took about 3 minutes to do. :classic:

I wish I read this before I bought the other unit with another bad pump:mad: Well if any one would like to copy me and needs the old parts I guess I have them forsomeone

By chance did you when installing the wires make a connection to the body of the pump? If you are making conection to the metal body of the pump it would sort out. Also make sure the wires are connected properly the pump would put extra strain if it was pumping backwards poping the fuse.
