Windshield Washer Won't Squirt
Windshield Washer Won't Squirt
My windshield washers stopped working a few weeks ago. I did a search and determined that it just needed a pin in the nozzles to fix. Next I lifted the hood and checked to see if reservoir was full. Pull steering column lever with ignition on and it squirts on windshield.
Fixed!
Last week while driving, I needed to wash crud off windshield and... nothing.
Today:
Check fluid level check
Turn on ignition, squirt back window check
Ignition on, try to squirt front... motor noise, but no water.
Pin in nozzles... seems clear... the passenger side has a few drops of fluid
Remove hood liner. Used two wood chisels to pry out rivets on a few fasteners that would not unscrew. check
Remove supercharger inlet plastic thingy check
Undo wires on nozzle from clip on hood????? Evidently my car has heated nozzles (Winter Package) check
Undo hose to nozzle check
Push up and out to unsnap nozzle check
Blow 100 psi air thru nozzles all clear
Ignition on squirting like crazy



Button everything up and close bonnet.
Double check washers.... nothing
What the heck. I'm feeling like Clark Griswold about now.


Follow hose to passenger side corner of hood. Plastic clip that holds it in place is broken. Closing hood pinches hose and nothing gets thru.
Tuck hose out of way when closing. Fixed.
Just thought I would share this one.
