Replacing the washer pump is a necessity on engines where the pump has worn out over time or if water contact has short-circuited the electrical connection in the pump.

Reconnect the wiring to the fluid transfer case and rethread the mounting bolts back into place. Tighten them with a wrench or the socket set.
