hi everyone, new to owning an SJ or samurai, not sure whats what yet..... anyway, things arnt going to well so far, lots of rust but im on the case of that, but also i have an electrical problem with the washer bottle.
when I pull the stalk the lights on the dash dim but no washers, no noise at all. any ideas what this could be?

:welcome: to the club :thumbup: .

Not to sure about the washers, but if i was to have a geuss i would say the pump is probably seized/nackered. Hopefully somebody els will be able to shed some more light on the problem.

If its dimming the dash lights its taking some current. Although its most likely to be your pump motor, it could potentially be the cable too, id replace the pump unit first.
