Hello guys! Sorry for late post. I was away from my car for sometime and just recently replaced my windshield washer pump. It was easy and it works... I would say half way. I mean, front windshield washer works, but rear washer doesn't. I checked if power is coming to pump and there is no power coming to rear washer pump contact. Power comes to front washer contact. So, any idea where to search for solution? Looks like no fuse on this.. Nearby wire and socket seemed clean and O.K.

I want to order in a Toyota delaes and ask for the year.
It's more cheap than Lexus part.

Just Hello!
Hello, there. I see, old RX owners are still there, still alive, just like me. After this cold Midwest winter my RX got Check engine light and ABS light. So, with warmer times coming, some DIY works coming too. Soon, may be, I'll start asking for some advices. Be ready, RX-geeks! By the way, first Highlander was produced in 2001, they say...

Salimshah, thanks so much for so many helpful posts on many issues. Guys, please see posts on previous question, and my comment. I speculate only; maybe if the level sensor gets too low, computer shuts down system to prevent burning up the pump. Maybe there is a fuse or a RELAY somewhere. Maybe a corroded connector inside the reservoir. So, if one of these issues has happened, you could get power to the pump area. but maybe the power can't reach the pump itself (inside). I hate this stuff. I used to run teams of computer engineers in the Far East, and I constantly had to remind them not to get clever, but just keep it simple. Ok, I realize this thread is old, but this issue is going to hang around.

I figure several guys already spent the bucks for a new pump, but I'm equally sure that this issue is an ongoing one, and others will be hit with it. Another idea; if there is a sensor or a relay system to change pump output from front to rear, could a one-time "function error" lock up the system? Did anybody try unplugging, electro-lite fix, and re-plugging of plastic connectors?

That brought back memories. I remember starting my brand new Olds 442 on a snowy morning and hearing a terrible howling sound from under the hood and some sort of banging. I cut the engine and saw something like smoke floating out in the breeze. Oh, no, Mister Bill, a cat had been sleeping on the warm engine. Not pretty.
