Washer system help

I rebuilt all three washer systems on my 86 Targa. Two out of three are working. The main system is the one that won't work. I am not getting power to the pump. The fuse is good. The wiper switch was replaced only 4 months ago. I have good ground at the pump. Does anyone know where the hot wire from the pump connects? It goes into a sleeve that goes under the fuse box. Not sure where it connects next. I want to run a new wire.

I looked at the fuse box. The wire from the pump doesn't look like it is connected to the fuse box. The wiring diagram shows that it is connected to a diode and the wiper switch. Do you know where that diode is located?

Let me look at my factory CKT & I'll get back to you.

Also, in the interest of better resolution, I have re-scanned the fuse panel pics.

you should be able to move them to another location to cut & paste for better viewing.

As for the diode, I'll get back to you tomorrow.

Best,

On the CKT does the --( --- symbol mean a connector. Is this a connection like the ones for the nozzle heaters?

Update. I did some research and be leave that this is a blade connector. Do you know if this one has a red dot on it? I found one that is disconnected.

Well I got power to the pump. Turns out that I was connecting the wrong connector to the pump. There was a right angled connecter that fit perfectly but wasn't for the pump. Not sure what it connects to. That is another project. There were two lines tucked by the bumper that when I connected made the pump run. Now the problem is that the pump will not draw fluid. Replaced all the lines and "Ts" so that's not the issue. I took the pump out of the car and hooked to a battery. Won't even pull water out of a cup. Looks like I need a new one (another new one).

Reversed polarity? Running backwards?
