Default Windshield washer doesn’t work

I noticed yesterday that my windshield washer doesn’t work. I checked the fluid and it appears to have plenty of fluid. I’m assuming the pump is malfunctioning. Anyone have a link to replacing the pump? My car is a 2009 C2S.

I have the same year as yours and had the same issue. I took it to Porsche of San Diego who replaced the motor. I can try to find my invoice but I remember being surprised at the labor hours they charged and it was more labor intensive than I would have thought because he said in order to get to it, more things need to be moved/moved back then people would think. Again this is from a Dealership so I know I should not have been surprised. Although they had been good to me and allowed me to bring in my own OEM parts and just charged for labor which many Dealerships and even Independent shops won't let you do. Sorry I don't have a link, but I ordered the part from Pelican Parts and paid the dealership to install it.

Can you hear the pump running? If so, it may just be clogged. You can try cleaning out nozzles, or run compressed air through the lines, drain and flush a couple of times might work.

My washer pump is getting replaced at the dealership at the moment. The part number for the pump is PAB--955-651 if thats what you need replacing. I had no idea my windshield washer wasnt working until the dealer pointed it out. Parts and labor is around $500. I have extended warranty so its covered.

Thanks for all the replies. It appears the pump has died. Ordered a replacement and viewed the youtube video on accessing the pump, so I’ll be doing the replacement myself.
