Question Multiple issues -

Hi, I already looked through the list of DIYs -

I have several issues -

1) Windshield wiper fluid pump no longer works

2) Sunroof doesn't work (I can hear the motor or a solenoid when I push the button, but it doesn't open.

3) Ventilation system - Only blows through the front (dashboard) vents, doesn't switch between defrost, feet, and dash.

Does anyone know of DIYs for these that aren't listed in the Sticky List?

Trying to get this thing fixed up so I can get rid of it - plain tired of fixing things.

Thanks,

Bear

#1 You have to access the washer reservoir behind splash screen, front right wheel. It could be a bad motor or no supply. Pipes leading to the nozzles could be blocked. The same motor squirts the read glass when energized with reverse polarity.

#2 No suggestion other that check the fuse.

#3 Mode servo. Trying going off auto and change mode and see. You may have to open up the lower dash panel to see if the motor is pushing the lever arm. Expensive part to replace but there is a DIY.

#2 I think if it were a fuse you'd not hear the motor. To access the sunroof pan you have to take out the headliner which means you have to take off all the pillar molding too. Could be something simple or complex and there's no way to know without eyeballing it.
