The windshield washer pump fuse on a 2005 Honda Civic is typically a 15-amp fuse labeled WASHER, usually found in the interior fuse box on the driver’s side kick panel. If you don’t see it there, also check the engine compartment fuse box for a WASHER fuse.
Fuse box locations
Two commonly used locations hold the windshield washer pump fuse. The following sections identify where to look and what label to expect on the fuse.
Interior fuse box (driver's side kick panel)
The interior fuse box is located behind a panel under the dashboard on the driver’s side, near the hood release. The fuse box cover has a diagram showing which fuse does what.
- WASHER (windshield washer pump) – 15A fuse
For most 2005 Civics, this is the primary fuse for the washer fluid pump and is the first place to check if the pump isn’t working or the switch isn’t delivering power.
Engine compartment fuse box
Some trims or markets use the under-hood fuse/relay box for the washer pump fuse. Look for a WASHER label on the fuse or in the diagram inside the lid.
- WASHER – 15A fuse
Check this location only if the interior box does not contain a blown fuse or if you have a model/trim variation that places the fuse in the engine bay.
Replacing the fuse
If you need to replace the fuse, use the same amperage and follow safe procedures. Here’s how to do it properly.
- Turn off the ignition and locate the correct fuse using the fuse box diagram on the cover.
- Remove the blown fuse with a fuse puller or small pliers and inspect for a melted or discolored element.
- Insert a new 15A WASHER fuse of the same type and reseal the fuse box cover.
- Test the washer function by activating the stalk to spray fluid.
If a new fuse blows soon after replacement, there may be a short or fault in the pump, wiring, or relay that requires further diagnosis by a professional.
Summary
For a 2005 Honda Civic, the windshield washer pump fuse is typically a 15A fuse labeled WASHER located in the interior fuse box on the driver’s side kick panel; some models may place it in the engine compartment fuse box. Always verify with the fuse box diagram on the cover or in the owner's manual. If the fuse repeatedly blows, inspect the pump, wiring, and relay for faults.
