What failed in the pump? Biggest cause of broken reservoirs and pumps is
forgetting to use winter mix washer fluid. If you use summer mix, often the
stuff freezes in cold weather and fractures something.

There are aftermarket pumps that can be adapted fairly easily. Check out

My LW has a really weird washer pump. It runs forward to send fluid to the
front washers. Runs *reverse* to get fluid to the rear washer. Not great
pressure but it works. No valves or any special plumbing. Neat design.
