clogged pores?

 

I had this happen one time while living in Upstate NY. It just got real cold and froze them (even though I do have the heated nozzles). It fixed itself and started working the next day. Gremlin maybe? Only thin I did was take my fingers and massage the tubes going to the nozzle. Perhaps there was a frozen piece back in the line that just needed a little manipulating?

 

Does the pump run? Have a buddy listen under the hood when you pull back on the lever. If the pump isn't running, then fuse, pump or switch is bad. If the pump is running, then you probably have a blockage somewhere.

 

Yea, listen for the pump. If you don't hear it, you'll need a new one.

Ok - I'll do that tonight. Thanks.

BTW - any idea how much a new pump costs?
And is that something I can swap out myself?

Thanks!

 

...could also be a break in the washer lines. do you get a puddle under the car if you keep doing it?

(Had the line to my rear washer break once, near the amp for the stereo - what a mess)

Had this happen on the rear washer on the variant...heard the pump...no water...except for the puddle towards the driver side rear panel by the cd changer...hose came of the T-connection.

When you listen for the pump, also look down (drivers side, below the power steering reservior. Check to see of it's leaking (use a flashlight). I've had the hose detach at the pump, so it just squirts all over, instead of into the hose. As simple as plugging it back onto the fitting and securing with a zip-tie.

 

I tried to listen for the pump from inside the car - I couldn't hear anything.
However, I can't remember if I used to be able to hear it pump or not....
I thought that I used to be able to hear it, but now I'm not sure.
I'll have to try to listen under the hood while wifey activates it inside the car.
