The link above will take you to a post I added today about my windshield washer pump.
You've hear the saying "there's nothing new under the sun"... Well today I may have found something.
I go to fooling around with the WSW pump that I took out of Trixie to see if I could get it to working again.
Yesterday, when I took the tank out of Trixie I had laid down in the driveway so I though that the little black ants that
I saw crawling around on it had just crawled up on it while it was lying there.
After I took the picture that you see in the link from the previous post, I decided to see if I could find out why it would not run.
I first tried to see if I could remove what appears to be some kind of cap from the bottom of the pump.
When I ran a small screwdriver blade around the seam at the edge, lots of tiny black ants started
coming out. Problem was that the space under the cap was full of ants and bit of ant nest trash. I sprayed
around it with windex and used a small brush and also knocked it against the side if sink and sprayed water in it to
to try to get all the ants and the trash out. When it looked like all the ants and their trash was out,
I hooked the motor to a 12v DC supply and it immediately whizzed away.
So if you windshield washer pump has stopped working, it just might be the start of the ants quest to take over the world.
