Pumped about washers

While cleaning out the washer bottle on the 280, I discovered that the washer pump was seized.  This is a common problem, but what to do?  On eBay you can find NOS pumps for a reasonable amount of money.  I found a cheaper solution: Trico makes a pump that is almost identical to the original unit.

The most difficult part of the swap was swapping the electrical connections.  The new pump had a large connector that needed to be cut off so that it would fit into the rubber cradle.  After using a Dremel to remove the connector, I used a soldering iron to transfer the connectors from the old pump to the new.

The washer is now ready to be returned to the car.
