Windshield Fuild Doesn't Come Out
 

My windshield fuild doesn't come out. The fuild container still has enough fuild inside. and I already used tooth pick to clean the holes where fuild is suposed to come out. any idea?

Thank you

Do you hear the washer motor working when you're trying to spray?

How's the weather are you location? If it's kind of cold, than your windshield washer fluid froze. I had that problem in nyc. I got a botttle of cheap crap from autozone. I'm going to change it soon.

poke the entrance of the nozzle with a safety pin.

you got wax into the holes didnt you.... lol

Fuild should be spelled as *fluid*. Sorry, my poor spelling >.<.

The windshield wipers did move. The fluid just doesn't come up. I live in sunny California. Forzen windshield shouldn't be the cause, and I haven't waxed my car since I bought it (What a bad carcare person!!!). I am going to try see poke the entrance of the nozzles with a safety pin. The things is that all of the 4 nozzles don't work. only the windshield vipers moved.

Thank you.

Either the motor is gone or the hose was disconnected...

Try taking the hose off from under the hood to one of the nozzles and have someone turn the spray on and see if they spray, if not the motor is dead...

Motor is dead!!

Can someone describe what a motor is ? and where it is located? Sorry, I am a newbie.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe its located on the bottom of the bottle... its a windshield washer pump/motor

hey i have a spare working pump for sale!! i jsut took it out to save some wieght lmk if you need it ill sell it for like $20, its very easy to replace too, jsut take off the wheel, and wheel well liner and just pull the old one out, push new one in, and refill the fluid

oh yeah it is on the bottom of the wiper fluid container, in the gap between the fender/bumper and chasis

i had the same problem, look slike the previus owner tried sutting the wires for some reason, either way, i had to go down there to re soder them. im going to richmond tonight, how far is richmond from fremont?

Thank you, goodhead, I don't have any budget spent on my car except fuel till next month since I just got ripped off by the dealership in Newark, CA. Here is my story: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=370056

According to Yahoo Maps, the distance from Fremont to Richmond is 36.7 miles and needs 49 mins. Do you know any reliable mechanic in Richmond, risingmist? If you do, please let me know. Thank you.

Have you considered if your hoses are clogged, just a suggestion. Take them out and try to run fluid through them if now blow out the crud in them then re install and try again.

sorry to hear that, when i ge my paycheck ill just send you mine for free, and i can walk you through the install :D


ps my boy is manager of the service dept at local toyota dealerships, and he tells me he gets bonus based on how much business he writes, he told me some ****ed up stories, i use to work for compusa corporate and our tech dept for computers (not that its the same) was just as bad taking advance of everyone they could, the only they get away with it is cause people that pay are less knowledgable and dont know any better, your very right knowledge is power

If you don't hear it then its dead. Not hard to replace.
1.Pull back fender splash gaurd
2. Drain fluid.
3 Remove resivoir if required for access.
4. Remove motor.
5. Install new motor.
6. Before you tuck everything away go pull on the stalk to make sure it works.
7. Put it back together and go drive in bug/snow infested areas.

D@mmit goodhead. LOL I've had a spare one taking up space in my garage too. Oh well. If anyone else needs it check the sig.

LOL sorry man i jsut felt bad for the guy, you are saving wieght i see ;)

Try running compressed air through the lines.

Fo sho'... You as well sir.

Yeah man, I use the auto for weight training. Moving the 5Spd around is like carrying a loaf of bread.
