I'd forgotten to get my Jetta inspected in October when it was due so today I 
figured I ought to get to it. The guy was busy so since it'd been sitting a few 
weeks I ran it around some to get everything warmed and mixed. Thats when I 
realized the windshield squirters didn't work. I figured it was empty so I 
added some juice which didn't help.
Brought it home, the hose has a junction so I pulled that, no fluid, no noise. 
The pump and bottle reside behind the battery but out in the front of the car 
so easy access. I pulled the bottle and applied 12v across the pump, first I 
got the polarity backwards and made a weird little noise but then spun. I 
switched the wires and it pumped fine.
I wonder if it was a little stuck from sitting and running it backwards broke 
it free? I don't use it much in the summer time.
Anyway alls well that ends well. I took it to my local guy and he slapped a 
sticker on it, good for another year.
