Windshield Washer System issue

rajramineni · 06-11-2009, 02:00 PM

My washer system is not spraying water on the windshield.
I thought it might be the washer pump, so i got a new one and replaced it. but still the same problem.

Anybody have an idea??

Sometimes, if one uses an inexpensive washer fluid, the lines will clog.
Optikleen, a GM concentrate product, is a good one to use.

Have you checked the nozzles themselves? Sometimes when people wax their cars, the nozzle can get clogged with excess wax.

I had the same issue a year ago and on my passenger side. I had 2 issues:

1: My washer nozzle hose connections had came loose from the actual nozzle and therefore was shooting the washer fluid into the engine. I had to reconnect it again.

2: After I reconnected I realized that they nozzles were plugged up and therefore the built up pressure made the hose pop off everytime. I used a small needle on my washer nozzles and cleared them of some (calcium???) and now they shoot fluid just like new.

Do you hear the washer pump turn on when you activate it??
