Re: Wipers on = wiper fluid sprays. Always.

Yeah, this appears to be mechanical. After further digging, I find that engaging the wiper washer is supposed to initiate a full revolution of the white toothed wheel. The washer cycle is initiated by a solenoid. The wheel completes most of a revolution and then hangs up at the last or second-to-last tooth, which is the problem. The arm keeps grabbing for it and trying to rotate the wheel to the next tooth to shut the damn thing off, but can't get there. If I force it to complete the loop, the pump stops pumping. I've managed to pull off the white wheel and am now tinkering with it.
