Windshield Washers Problem

i2ichal2dZ4M · 11-11-2012, 02:15 PM

Hey guys, just noticed that my nozzles on the hood stopped working. Headlight cleaning ones still spray its just the ones on the hood that aren't operating. Anybody have any experience with this?

Have you traced the lines back to the washer pump? All of them are attached to the same pump, so sounds like a kink or obstruction in the line to me.

.....or plugged nozzles.

I was thinking perhaps dried wax in the nozzles.

so today i took checked the nozzles and lines everything look clogg free and clear, i then decided to check the pumps. it looks like windshield nozzle pump went out, it showed rust on the outside of the unit. Since i had the tank out, i went ahead and checked to see if the grommets were clogged on both pumps, NOPE. Well now I happened to make the headlight washer not work as well -_-*. The pump is fine, i still hear it buzz, but no fluid is being channeled to them, i may have missed something. Got too cold and dark so i will attempt to fix this another day. Any ideas where I can get another pump cheap?

Interesting! This exact same thing happened to me....I ordered a new pump and was going to change it out.

Here is hoping it works.

The headlight washers and winshield washers are two sperate pumps and line systems. My windshield washer pump (closest to firewall) recently went out as well, while it was at the body shop. I got a replament from a local auto parts shop that was cheap and I am running that!

Ebay + $10 later, car is spraying fluid like a super soaker once again!
