Review on ✨ ACDelco Professional 8-6737 Windshield Washer Pump: Reliable Performance for Crystal-Clear Visibility by John Mceachern

Good product for 1999 Jeep Cherokee Rear Washer Pump

I have a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Limited and had a problem with the front washer pump which was producing weak washer fluid flow so I decided to replace the washer pump. My rear window pump wasn't working at all, but I decided to change one pump at a time. The ACDelco 8-6737 product fits my car and works as expected, but the wire connection was slightly different than the original pump. I thought I ordered a windshield washer pump for the front window, but it turns out that the solid white model is for the rear window washer. After replacing the front washer pump with an all white one (ACDelco 8-6737), a faint jet persisted. When swapping the pump, I noticed that the front and rear pumps are very similar, the only difference is that the front washer pump is black on top (electrical end). I ended up rebuilding the original front washer pump and replacing the rear washer pump with the ACDelco 8-6737. The electrical connection is perfectly matched to the rear window wiring harness, hence the solid white pump for the rear window washer pump. If you need a front washer pump, you need to order ACDelco 8-6736. The weak jet problem was with the front disc due to the vacuum Y-port that feeds the two jets. I bought a spray cleaner to clean the plug, but washer fluid comes out of a small hole in the round part of the plug. I found a replacement vacuum Y-fitting on Revain, but I'll have to wait for the part to ship before I can respond as to whether that will fix the low flow issue. Update: I just received the vacuum tee connector (MTC W0133-1642384-MTC windshield washer hose tee connector) and installed the connector. My washer fluid now flows like it does in a new car. Simple solution. The original vacuum Y-connection is located on the driver's side near the wiper blades. You will need to pry open the rubber grommets on the black strip between the hood and windshield. If your hands are small enough, you can extend and disconnect the tubing attached to the original fitting and replace it with a T-fitting. Removing the wipers allows you to remove the black molding and easily access the fluid lines. Under the bonnet there is a strip of rubber at the end of the black trim which also needs to be removed. If the wipers are stuck on the connectors, you can purchase a puller to remove them. I had a small pry bar and used a hammer to tap the wiper pin while pushing with the pry bar. Be careful as the black molding is plastic.
