Thank you both for your help. I got this fixed today. I checked at two Toyota dealerships and was quoted prices of $85 and $62 for a replacement pump. After blowing that off and spending $23 at Napa, I spent 45 minutes in my garage doing the replacement. Turns out, the housing at the top (outside) of the original pump that carries the electrical connections was broken and had slipped off its mount.
The hardest part was putting the new pump in. I couldn't get it in with the grommet attached, so took the grommet off the new pump, put the grommet in the hole in the fluid reservoir and then popped the new pump in afterward. Worked perfectly!
For future reference, the pump for the front is the easier one to get to - it's the one closest to the front bumper. The rear one is a bit higher and closer to the driver side of the car. I'm glad that one is fine because it looks like getting access to it would have been a LOT more involved.
Once again, thank you both for your help.
