No wiper fluid spraying

beerdog1 · 12-18-2022, 07:42 PM

All of a sudden, my wiper fluid will not spray on the windshield. The tank is full. I hear the pump working. Fluid also sprays on the headlights. Anyone ever experiences this or have any suggestions on where to start?

I am in chicago but I would not expect the fluid to freeze.

There are several posts about the pickup getting clogged and how to clear it. It's a common problem. It's a pain getting the reservoir out and realigned to go back in, but be patient and it will happen.

Oh, my God, this is going to be so damn hard.

I would call it frustrating, but not necessarily hard. Just a few basic tools should do it.

If the fluid had enough of water in the mixture it could be frozen. This has happened to me. The frozen water ended up putting a thin crack in the bottle and I needed to change it.
