Front Washer Motor: Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Kia Optima and 2008 Kia Magentis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

With the washer motor connected to the reservoir tank, fill the reservoir tank with water.
Connect positive (+) battery cables to terminal 2 and negative (-) battery cables to terminal 1 respectively.
Check that the motor operates normally and the washer motor runs and water sprays from the front nozzles.
If they are abnormal, replace the washer motor.
