GApathfinder Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Hey everyone! I am having a problem with the little wiper fluid shooters. Everytime I pull in the wiper handle, nothing comes out. The wipers move, but no fluid comes out. I went to Auto-Zone and got some more fluid, thinking it must be just out. It was very low, so I put new fluid in, tried it out again and nothing happened. Just the same, no fluid, but the wipers move. Anyone have any idea what the problem is and how I can fix it? Thanks, Garrett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewebster Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Squirter pump seems to be the most likely culprit... If it was totally dry it could take a while to prime and come out, but I'm assuming you held it down for a while... See if you can tell if it is running and wiggle the connector...

MY1PATH Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 ^ do you hear it running? if you do, siphon it out and try pouring some hot water in there. Run the pump in short bursts with the hot water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towncivilian Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Make sure the washer hose isn't kinked anywhere, too. Does the rear washer work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 If you can hear the washer pump running, pull the hose off the fitting under the hood on the side the hose goes up to the hood, than have someone pull the washer lever, if fluid comes out than the nozzles are clogged. What I do is pull the nozzles out of the hood (if yours are in the hood), and I run them under my sink with hot water and I use a small sewing needle to clean out the holes. A lot of times wax will get into the nozzles causing them to clog. If no fluid comes out of the hose than the washer pump may be bad. Does the rear washer nozzle work? Both washer pumps are in the same tank under the hood but they work separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonianwalk Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Same problem here and I don't hear my pumps when I try. I've checked the fuses and they appear to be good. Where the H. E. double hockey sticks are the pumps? You know what, I'll wait to solve this problem after I've solved my mud sick VG33. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towncivilian Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) The pumps are in the washer fluid reservoir - see exploded parts view. Edited August 31, 2011 by Towncivilian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slartibartfast Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 My WD's front pump went out a while back. Turned out that the bushing at the top had seized up. A few minutes with pliers and steel wool, and a little oil, and it's worked since. Didn't cost squat, and I got to prove my dad wrong (he said I needed a new pump). Sounds like yours is a lot tougher to get to than mine, though. Be careful siphoning out the fluid. It tastes horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
