wtf

i changed my hood on my car and my windshield wash isnt working now.. lol ?

any ideas.. ?

i blow down the tubes and the water moves around and bubbles.

i press in on the washer arm inside the car and wipers move.

but no windshield wash

it isnt blocked in the lines cause obvsiously it wouldnt move or bubble if i blow in the lines.

wtf is wrong ?

 

Take a small needle and poke around in the squirters attached to the hood. May be plugged there. Pump works fine still though?

 

wheres the pump and right now i dont have the hose hooked to the squirters so it isnt that. thought my hood flew up on the highway one time and smashed my windshield and al lthat. maybe it pulled on something ?

but nothing came unhooked from what i see.

 

Double check your lines. When you spray no fluid comes out the bottom? Check the plug for the wiring to the sprayer um dealie.

 

or check and see if the hood is pinching the hose when the hood is closed... can you hear the washer pump operate?

 

The pump is on the washer res. and if the hoses aren't hooked up how can you expect them to work. This sounds like an easy fix. You'll get it. Just use your noodle.

 

VTECHJUNKIE, I'm sorry but I just have to ask.... Is your username a joke?

 

iv had this problem before right where your washerfluid is suppose to come out of on the outside of the hood at the washer nozzles take a pin to the holes of the nozzles and work it around in there. sometimes they become clogged and wont let the fluid through

 

u guys dont get it.

the hood isnt pinching my lines. ive tested this with the hood open.
the lines disconnected from the hood nozzles and disconnected so far as so it is only one line running to the tank.

i blow in the hose, water moves.

use the water squirt inside the car, nothing comes out, only wipers move.

the hose is hooked up to the washer tank and it isnt leaking and or clogged.

every possible common sense thing has been checked and rechecked, i wouldnt post a noob fix ;p

 

more then likely the motor Ive had to fix many motors at work on hondas for this exact problem.

 

can u give steps on how to do it? pics of where it is and what it looks like ?>

 

Step 1. Jack up the drivers side of the car, insert jack stand and remove drivers side wheel. I say this because it will be easier to access the area you need to work in.

Step 2. Remove the splash shield in the wheel well.

Step 3. The washer resivoir is in front of that splash shield and behind the bumper. There will be a little black thingy on the damn thing with a wiring clip attached to it. Remove and replace with like item from autoparts store... Should be about $15-$20.

What I'm talking about is #1 in the picture below.

Thanks for the schematic you posted. I thought I was going to have to replace my washer pump, but my hose just came off at #7. It was a SOB to put back on due to being right under the hood bolts, but I got it. Now my sprayers are clogged and only dribble out so may have to clean or replace them. This site is great and I appricate the help.

 

may be as simple as the power wire is not hook up right... double check that
