I bought a used 2003 Yukon w/ 50k miles on it, and just realized that the front washer pump doesn't work--it doesn't even make any noise when I try to trigger it. (The wipers work fine, and the rear washer pump/wipers work fine, too.)
I'm not terribly experienced with working on cars, but I figured I could at least check the easiest thing first: The fuse box.
According to the owners manual, the fuses for the pump relay and the pump are located at the underhood fuse block. I confirmed that the actual fuse for the pump is fine.
However, I'm not familiar with the fuse for the pump relay. It's much bigger than any fuse I've seen before, and I'm hesitant to yank it out because it looks like it is locked in there pretty good. Is there a tool I should use for pulling this sucker out, or is it not meant to be pulled off the block? In the diagram, this particular fuse has the numbers 86, 30, 87, and 65 on each corner. Any idea what these numbers mean?
Any other troubleshooting tips you can offer before I just buy a new washer pump and try to replace it myself?
Thanks in advance!
