windsheild washers

shrpshtr325 · #1 03-26-2007, 01:46 AM

i went to clean my windsheild today and when i hit the button on the end i had to hold it down to get the washer spray to come up, and when it did it was a really wimpy spray, didnt seem to have any power behind it, just kind of made it up to the lower area of the wiper sweep and thats it, the one i my dads truck gets most of the windsheild, just wondering why mine is so weak, and what i can do to fix it, if anything, any ideas would be great,

P.S. i tried cleaning the nozzels that are mounted on the outside, near the hood, and they are clean, so i dont have any other ideas, any help would be great, thanks

yea the resivoir is full, and i tried cleaning out the nozzles near the windsheild but that didnt help, any ideas, maybe the pump that is supposed to spray is going bad??

I would guess there is a clog in the line. Take the lines off of the nozzle and check for blockages. Try blasting the nozzles in a reverse direction to clear any debris.

ok and how do i get the lines out, they are under the peice of plastic just behind the hood below the windsheild and i havnt figured out how it comes out, i just thought maybe a bad pump bc my dads spray is alot better than mine, but ill look into that next time i get a chance thanks

Is the fluid leaking anywhere near the hood? Sometimes the tubes pop off fittings. I've never looked at my Dak's so I don't know how it all connects, but it's happened on other cars.

If not, it's probably a kink or clog as previously mentioned.

not clogged either you have a crack or a line fell off Ive had it happen sounds like a hole because the fluid had to be pumped all the way back up to the nozzles
