Two (2) years ago, I removed the fuse for the HL pump to conserve juice.
The HL system uses a lot of juice and most of the time it is useless anyway.
I'd rather save the juice for the windshield glass.

So far so good with the fuse removed.

I tried pulling fuse 27 (fuse for headlamp nozzle pump) the other day in the glove box and the glove box light went out and it also is connected to something else (after looking at the fuse diagram to see what was connected to fuse 27 (20amp).

PS: after my suck/blow method on the hose and distribution piece, there is still no loss of washer fluid at nozzles (or anywhere else). WOHOO.

put the fuse back in and just unplug the pump. It's the one on the side of the washer fluid reservoir.

Fifty150hs, I thought of that but I hate having a dangling connection tion. So if I silicone shut the dead pumps intake and exhale pipe and will put back in reservoir. Then the pump harness still has a place to connect and stay clean and the pumps motor freely spins since the rotor shaft has broken from motor (hence why it would not pump anymore)
