Default 2000 GS 300 windshield washer pump

Guys- I tried to search and couldn't find anything specific to this car. When I push the button for the washer fluid nothing happens? It hasn't worked since I bought the car a year ago and I need to get it fixed.

Where is the pump located?
Where can I purchase the pump online?
Does anyone know if there is a Toyota alternative?

Any info is appreciated. Thanks

Sean

It's located at the front left corner of the car, behind the fog lights.

Have you checked all your relays and fuse, or even the wire connected to the pump. The only reason why I ask is that, I haven't heard of those pumps ever going out.

Can you please tell me how I access it? Do I have to remove the bumper?

Yes, the front bumper has to be removed. You might be able to take the left front fender splash shield out to access it, but I'm not 100% sure.

I haven't checked fuses or relays. Actually I know the radiator has been replaced so who knows what is really going on with it. If the pump isn't there or is trashed where do you recommend I buy one???

Easy fix- I got the bumper part way off and looked inside the left wheel well. I noticed there was a plug dangling. Plug it back in and good as new. Thanks for the info.

Hey Guys, I'm a long time lexus owner. Just purchased a 2002 GS430. I love it, but the windsheild sprayers are not working. I've checked power at the pump, and nothing. I put voltage to the pump and it works. I cheched voltage at the fuse, and I get 12v with the switched pulled.
I can not find the washer relay. The fuse is 20 amps so I'm fairly sure it's running through a relay, but I can not find it in the car, or online.
Any Ideas?
I did check in the drivers left foot well. I also check the 3 boxes under the hood.
