weird problem with windshield washer

Just wondering if anyone has had a problem with the windshield washers, the other day only the left one would work, then later that day they both worked again-I thought crisis resolved, then today only the right one worked for a while, then they both worked again-I am going to flush the system tonight to make sure it's not a clog, but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on why this is happening.

This happened to me when it very cold out a few months ago. Can you safely flush the system with regular water?

Do you have a FSTB? If so it may be rubbing on one of the hosed under the hood.

I do have a FSTB, I'll bet that's it, HMMM, should I try to reroute the tubing so it doesn't rub and pinch the tube? Anyone else have the same problem? What did you do?

Check to see if there is rubbing marks on the headliner of the hood. If there is then this is where it is rubbing.


You'll have to remove the plastic plugs that hold in the headliner and move the hose and tape it down.
