Default '91 Honda Accord - windshield washer doesn't work after replacing pump - now what?

The windshield washer quit working on my '91 Accord. So I replaced the washer pump. The issue isn't resolved.

I DID notice that the switch on the steering column is loose and 'floppy'. Wipers, and whatever else that switch controls seem to work fine.

How easy is it to replace the switch? And is it likely that's the problem?

make sure you don't have a hole or leak in the line.

accords of that year tend to have leaking issues at the corner of the drivers side right by the windshield.

I've got the same problem with my 92.

I am pretty sure mine is the flexible hose connecting the lines under the hood to the line that runs under the fender.

Does our work with the hood open? If so, its proably getting kinked when you close the hood.

Yup, fixed it this afternoon. It was a combo of the flexible hose near the fender and the hose that came after it was routed slightly wrong and was getting kinked when the hood was closed.
