Windshield washer spray not working
It's been this way for awhile. I don't think it's wax
or build-up in the nozzle, but possibly the motor in the bottom of the sump. (?) Just wondering if anybody else has had this problem.... |

there is fluid in the resevoir, right?
seriously, can someone with their ear near the washer resevoir hear the motor working when you push the fluid button? If they can't, check the fuse for the motor. -Bill

Sounds stupid, but I've been meaning to. Now it's so damn cold, I can't get a volunteer! So I was wondering based on owners experiences, (why this site RULES!) if it was more apt to be the motor, or the fuse; which I would think would have other items on it...and everything else seems fine. Thanks for not calling me an idiot though...another reason this site is great! |

I can hear my pump from inside the car?? Easiest to check is the fuse...

mine are screwed up from wax build up and I've stuck needles in them and everything and they still won't work right. Too cold to bother now.

Unplug the hose where it connects to the hood, prop it up where you can see it. Then peek through the hood to see if water sprays out of the hose. That will tell you which way to go.
My nozzles were gunked up when this happened to me.
