Windsheild Washer - 11/12/2007 10:47:49 AM

My windshield washer is not spraying any fluid. The pump is still making is customary whine, and I've made sure the connector has been cleaned and properly seated. Is there a way to know if the washer/coolant reservoir needs to be replaced (motor attached) or, if there is a way to determine where a clog or break in the hose exists?

Thanks
Larry

I would raise the hood and start from the spray nozzle and work back toward the pump and reservoir. Somewhere you probably will run into a broken or disconnected hose.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

I also read on another thread that someone found that two different types of washer fluid
ended up mixing and gelling, then clogging up the intake on the pump.

But I'll start with the lesser of the two evils.
