The windshield washer fluid refuses to pump out on my `87 GN. Where is this thing? Is it contained within the wiper motor itself, or what? All aspects of the wipers work fine except for the washer feature. I can here a "click" sound when I rotate the wiper control forward in an attempt to get the fluid pumping, but no actual motor sound. Where should I check first? Help!
The pump is mounted in the motor assy, it's a cylindrical pump held in with a little clip and a rubber o ring. Replacement pumps are available at just about any auto parts store, complete with a new clip and easy directions to install. Takes about 10 minutes.

Mine has same problem. Does a mirror help to locate the clip? I thought I had to take out the whole thing

I don't remember having a problem finding the clip, but I bought the replacement pump before I tried to remove it, so when you have the new one in your hand, it's easy to see where the clip is. I do think I ended up destroying the original clip getting it out, guess that's why they include a new one. I think I remember it slides out radialy from the pump, if that helps. I used a little pair of diagonal cutters to grab the little tab and just yanked the dang thing out. Good luck.

Did you remove the wiper motor to make the installation or did you replace the pump with the wiper motor still attached to the cowl?
