Default 2003 Taurus Windshield fluid problem

The windshield washer fluid on our 2003 Ford Taurus will only shoot out a few inches. Both sides. The windshield washer motor runs but it will notshoot out enoughto make it to the windshield. The washer tank is full of fluidbut it doesn't make a difference. It's not frozen. What can we do?

Its either a clog in the fluid lineat some point, trash in the bottom of the tank, or a defective pump motor.
1.For the lines, you can shoot forced air through them for clearing.
2.For the tank, if filled, most likely, you would need to remove and slowlyempty it for signs of trash at the bottom.
If the above two doesn't do the trick....then its a good bet that the pump motor needs replacing.

Make sure the hose is not clogged in the fluid resevoir. Make sure that there are no kinks in the hoses. Check that the hoses are not clogged. Check that the outlet is not clogged.Use a straight pin in the holes to remove any blockage
