2022 chevy malibu windshield washer pump replacement

Hi Everyone,
I have a 2016 2.0T Malibu and my Washer pump has gone out. My Extended warranty has a $100 deductible, so I was wondering if anyone has changed this out on their own? If so , How much was the pump and how hard was it to get to the pump?
Thanks for any input

This I have found on RockAuto its more expensive at autozone but quick pick up.

Anyone changed this pump without taking the front bumper off?

Anyone changed this pump without taking the front bumper off?

Take a peek under the bumper / corner and there's black plastic that serves to cover all the innards. Get the cover loose by removing a few screws and popping a few x-mas tree clips from the fender liner at the edge of the fender. You should be able to reach up in there that way.

How do I know if my windshield washer pump is bad?

Checking to see if it has power to it. A visual also as if it's discolored due to it leaking. Summer fluid will freeze and not a lot of heat gets to it to defrost it.
If it's a '20 take it in as it should be still under the 3/36 bumper to bumper warranty.

Thanks for the folks who posted here. I also had a bad washer fluid pump on my 2016 Malibu with 45,000 miles. I was able to replace it but GM design engineers made a simple job hard by placing the pump facing the bumper rather than the wheel well. The engineers should be required to work on the cars they design to appreciate what the folks who fix them go through.
I removed the wheel cover which starts under the car and then partially separated the black part of the bumper to be able to get to the pump from both ends. When I pulled the pump out I figured out why it quit after only 5 years, it is a no name Chinese part, I was expecting an AC/Delco pump. Looks like the bean counters got their way at GM. My 98 Chrysler Town & Country still has the original pump going.

Interesting you have a no name Chinese part. My 2016 LT came with ACDelco part 22999423. Perhaps your pump had been previously replaced. Or maybe GM just uses various sources when the acdelco stock is depleted.

I bought the car new so I know it hasn't been replaced before. It is a Malibu hybrid. Did you have to replace yours too?

Did you have to jack the car up to get to it or were you able to do it flat ground? I am going to be replacing mine today

I didn't have to jack the car but I had to get at it both from the wheel well and the bumper side. Hope fully yours will be easier to get at, mine is a Malibu Hybrid which shouldn't make any difference as far as the pump goes but may be they positioned better in other models. Good luck!
