During Ops check it was discovered my windshield washer system did not work.
Years ago I had the wiper restored after a fire in the engine compartment. Wipers work fine but not sure I've ever tested/used the washers in all these years. Nevertheless I'm trying to get them working.
One thing of interest is when replacing the washer pump mechanism the shop manual says, "Install four washer pump to gear box retaining screws, position ground lug under lower screw." I'm assuming the ground lug it refers to is a flat brass strap I see coming from below the wiper. But I see that strap is attached to one of the wiper screws, not one of the washer screws. This is how it came back from the professional wiper restorer.
Could my problem be that the brass ground strap should be attached to the washer pump and not the wiper?
Any photos of how the installed wiper/washer would be appreciated.
What color plastic/nylon should the washer plate that contains the hose connections be for a very early 63? Mine is white but I was thinking maybe black was correct for that part.
