View Full Version : No Wiper Fluid being sprayed

No wiper fluid is being released either in front or rear when the proper washer button is pressed. It worked once after a few times of not working, but not since. Anyone got a fix or anything feasible for me to check out? I'm thinking something is clogged or pinched, but not sure where all to look.

I need to call GM yet and see if I can get them to allow me to take the H2 to the local GM dealer to fix as opposed to the distant Hummer dealer.

Skulz - First open the hood. Then have a friend spray the fluid. You should be able to hear the fluid pump with the key in acessory posistion and motor off. If you can't here it check the fuse box (inside side panel drivers side & under hood) I believe it is a 10A or 15A fuse but it is marked and identified in the book. There is also a fuse box "MAP" on the lid. If you have no luck with this (still won't spray and fuse is good) take and press the rear washer button, hold it in spray posistion and cycle key and on and off - starting engine completely. This will cycle the diognostic computer to check that circuit for an open switch or faulth to ground. If no luck with this. Take the front washer switch and press it into posistion several times (20). There is almost no chance you are clogged.
Hope this helps.

There is plenty of fluid and my brother added more just to make sure... http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

The motor is running as it is easily heard, so I'm guessing the fuse is good to go.

I'll have to give the cycling stuff a try later on.

Umm yeah, so anyone have any other ideas?
Wipers move, motors run, no spray comes out.

Check the holes in the spray outlet, they may be clogged. Good luck.

Update:

Taking it to the local GM dealer to have them inspect. GM customer service cleared it with my local GM dealer that they should be able to perform this service for me. My local Hummer dealer is 60miles away. Taking it in on Monday Aug 18th.

Update:
Local GM dealer is ordering a new washer pump.
Will take in H2 again for replacement when it arrives. Covered under warranty.
