Usually when these stop working there is a clog in the hose under the hood's liner. If the pump is truly bad, you'll need to pull up and off the components in the diagram and then get the pump out from underneath the car (first taking off the plastic engine cover that covers your radiator and other components from under the car):

Just get the TRIDON brand aftermarket ones, line up them side-by-side on your old one until you are close in inlet/size. Then splice in the two wires and go - should take you about 10 minutes - good luck!
