Default Re: windshield wiper sprayer issue

Consider this..............Instead of starting at the pump, start from the nozzle and work back this time.

The culprit may be the nozzle itself. It may be clogged with some tiny debris or maybe some hard water scale (calcium) that has finally built up enough to block the flow.

Another possible suspect might be the hose line that connects to the nozzle. Disconnect the line that flow to the nozzle and activate your washer and see if fluid comes our or not, you may have a clogged line. These can easily be tested using a syringe. Fill a small syringe with water insert the hose line onto the syringe and gently push on the plunger. You may have to hold the hoseline at the syringe as they have a habit of coming off if the connection is not tight. If you feel any resistance and not seing any water coming out the nozzle or hoseline, there is a blockage of some sort, replace the line. If the line is clear but when you hook it to the nozzle and then no water shoots out, you have a blocked nozzle, replace it.

This is just a easy way to help deduce what the trouble is and where it is not. Hope this helps!
