My washer pump was dead on arrival when I got my car.  Concours aside, has anyone just 
tapped into the reservoir and used a generic pump?  (I don't know anything about the 
configuration, but it seems like you could drop a pump anywhere under the hood, and 
with a little extra rubber hose, it would be squirting in no time.)
Possible, or am I revealing too much ignorance? :)
