Windshield washer

70chevelleSS · 04-12-2018, 10:11 PM

For some reason my windshield washer fluid isn’t spraying when I pull the lever back. Wipers come on like they should but no fluid. Washer fluid tank is full. The hoses, from what i can see, are connected properly. Possibly a blown fuse?

Check the hose on the left side by the cowl, to the left where you fill the reservoir.

Can you hear the pump run?

70chevelleSS · 04-12-2018, 11:52 PM

No I Cant hear it.. not that I can discern at least. I have checked the hoses.. they all appear to be connected. I'm thinking the pump isn't running, because I cant hear it. Does it have a dedicated fuse?

I’m waving the white flag and taking her to the dealer. I think my pump may bas. Odd that no one has reported such a failure on this board that I’ve been able to find.

I'm having the same issue. It appears the pump just stopped. I'm gonna take it into the dealer. Did you get yours resolved?

Taking it to the dealer tomorrow to see what the issue is

Curious what fluid you are using. I have heard that the orange fluid can clog some systems. If you google this you will see a lot of people have problems using anything other than the basic blue or purple fluid.

I've used the "orange" Rain-X washer fluid without problems in two of my vehicles for the past several years. I never knew there was a problem with this stuff. However, all the info I read said the empty tank sensor was damaged causing an empty tank warning light, not the actual pump.
Thanks

As of today I too am having the same issue.

Dealer is ordering me a new pump, should be here Friday. I use the windex brand blue fluid. Cleans the hell out of the windshield

Then I guess it's just the 3 of us. I guess I feel better. If this is the worst thing that happens, I'll be happy.

I have to ask... Have you tried filling it to the brim first ? Mine stopped working and turns out it was a hair low even tho it had fluid in it
