Default Windshield washer not squirting water??

Whenever I pull the lever arm to squirt water on the windshield, I hear the motor running but no water squirts out. I removed the hose where it connects to the nozzles. I pulled the lever and sure enough a steady stream of low pressure water comes out.

I changed the nozzles(thought it was clogged), and it still doesn't work. Does anyone have any ideas?

this is on 2001 V6.

BTW, I tried changing the AC filter on this car, but I cant get to the AC filter cover. The lower half of the dashboard is covering it up. I tried to remove the glovebox, but was unsuccessful at that also. There were two bolts by the hinge, and two bolts on the upper left/right corners on the glovebox, but that wasn't enough to remove it. Anyone have a helms that can help me out here?

i have a 02 coupe and i have the EXACT same problems. No water squirting and if i take out the hose, low pressure squirt. Im planning on taking it to the dealership since it will be covered by warranty. But glad to know that theres someone that has the same prob as me.

Hey so what did the dealership figure out? I'm having the same problem on my 92 EX (powered, clear nozzles, fluid filled but no h20 squirt).

My 91 did the same thing. Theres a flexible piece of hose right at the corner of the hood. Mine developed a small leak and over time it wouldnt even squirt. Check that.

I had a very similar problem. it turned out to be a pinch in the hose. right wher the hood hinge is. the hose makes a sharp turn in the 92 accord. as soon as i wiggled the hose around to ease the crimp, water flowed freely. it also turned ut that the hose was getting brittle which probably made it crimp worse. you could try just adjusting the hose or find which part is crimping and replace it yourself. i hope that this helps.
