windshield sprayers not working

[bigcollins25]

yesterday morning I had to drive to Baltimore Washington International Airport.
It was one of those mornings where it had rained during the night and stopped raining in the morning with lots of excess water on the roadway. I used my windshield sprayers a lot. Then all of a sudden they stop working. I checked the fluid, filled it up and they still did not work. I still hear the same sound as when it sprayed (motor buzzing) but I get no spray!



Any ideas guys? :wave:

Are the hoses still good? They may also be plugged.

How can I fix them if they are plugged?
Is their any chemical I can put in the fluid tank to help?

Run new hoses, it's pretty simple. Also, did the ends freeze up? I've had that happen b4.

Maybe just a line junction broke. If you run the pump while you are sitting in one spot is there a puddle of blue stuff?

You could pull the little filter apart there next to the passenger shock / strut tower, then put a little compressed air on it. I'd probally recommend taking the ends off there at the nozzles so you don't super-clog it. I remember also having to get a needle out and pick a speck or two of dirt outta there once or twice. Make sure that little filter isn't clogging up on ya either.

Alright thanks. I will try pulling a few things apart to look for clogs. I have no puddles under my car if I try to use them so I am very sure I dont have a leak in the system.

I think it might be a clog because sometimes when I try to spray just a little 3-4 inch spray comes out the left side.


Thanks guys

I live in the DC area and would be willing to help out if you needed a hand. Just let me know.

the steel arm that goes from the motor to the wipers can rub on the driver side hose and wear a hole thru it. repair section of hose and move it out of the way.

I had this happen to me earlier this year. I ended up installing a new w/w pump motor. Like yours mine was working then all of sudden it stopped. I was like wtf? It was probably the original one. Easy fix, under $20.

Got pics? My hoses were old and I pulled them off, but I've forgotten where they're supposed to run since then. I still have the little plastic vacuum thingy though.

mine stopped and i found the squirters clogged i must of had some crap in the tank. i cleaned them with the files that came with my occy set torches

Hey thanks a lot guys for the help :thankyou:

Kens1992mtxSHO, Thank you sir. I will keep you in mind if it gets a little to overwhelming.

Waiting for the weather to fix the sprayers....

Funny it passed Virginia safety check without them working.....that check was a waste of time....
