Recently I just filled up my windshield wiper fluid. But now when I try to use the wiper fluid, my wipers will go on but no fluid will come out. Also I looked to see what was wrong and I noticed that alot of wiper fluid was gone from the tank so I check underneath the car for a leak but I didn't see anything. It worked before I refilled it but then it just stopped working, so I put some more fluid in thinking that maybe I ran out.

Does the motor run?

 

The car runs, everything works great. It's just the windshield wiper nozzles don't shoot out any fluid eventhough the wiper fluid tank is full.

 

Does the washer motor run?

 

How would I go about checking this?

 

Listen maybe? They make noise when they run. The motor is mounted on the fluid reservoir. It should run when you pull back on the wiper switch. (With the key on.)

 

Oh the wipers and the motor for the wipers work fine, it's just the fluid that doesn't shoot out.

Are the nozzles clogged? Is the hose pinched? Try it with the hood open.

 

No dice. I check with the hood open and engine running. Judging from what I could see of the hose, it does not look pinched at all. Not sure if it's clogged but it does not look like it. I'm just wondering where the hell the fluid is going? Because I don't see anything underneath my car.

Is it leaking?

 

here how i check it.
take off the hoses connected to the nozzles.(2 of them)
and have a fd trigger the water.
if the water come out from the hoses evenly and free
it's a clogged nozzle.

for clogged nozzle..
get a can of those tire inflation spray.
point straight to the "inlet" part of the nozzle.
BLOW the sh_t out.

OR...
go straight to gas station
use the air compressor hose..blow the sh_t out.

if everything failed...
drop them in cole.

 

just took out the line that goes to the nozzles ard ran it, nothing even came out of the tube when it was disconnected from the nozzles. Damn now I'm gonna have to take it to a shop.
