Windshield washer failure
For 2009 ES350
Windshield washer stopped working on passenger side and now the driver's side. I don't hear anything when I turn it on. Does this mean I need to replace the pumps? There is 1 on each side, correct?

First get a pin and try to clear the nozzles that spray the windshield as they can get clogged. You may have to remove the hose and clear it with compressed air.
Then have a friend listen (with the hood open) as you operate the washers and hope they hear the pump operating.
The good news is that it is not hard to replace and they are on ebay for under $40 the same pump is used in many Toyota-Lexus models.

Thanks. I don't hear anthing so I assume the pump needs to be replaced.
So there's just 1 pump?
