Will this pump connect directly to my existing washer fluid hose without adapters?

The pump outlet is designed to accept standard washer hose. Confirm your current line diameter before install — most factory setups use universal fittings that work with this assembly.

Do I need to drain and refill my washer reservoir to swap this out?

Yes. Empty the reservoir completely before removing the old pump. This prevents spills and makes the swap cleaner. Refill with fresh washer fluid after installation.

What happens if the pump doesn't spray after I install it?

Check that all hose connections are tight and not kinked. Verify the motor engages when you activate the washer switch. If power reaches the pump but nothing sprays, the intake tube may be clogged — flush the reservoir and reconnect the intake line.
