Windshield washer fluid won't spray on windshield.

I filled up the reservoir, took allot, but it was not low enough to trigger the fill light.

Now all I hear is the pump running and no spray out of either nozzle or the rear hatch nozzle.

Disconnected at the front nozzle and no change.

Ideas?

Pump turns on.

No head light washer option on my car.

Wipers turn on, front and rear hatch.

Is there a relay?

Maybe frozen if water was used or clogged???

Yeah, what temperature is it outside? I've had mine freeze before. Worked again when it warmed up.

Thanks for the posts.

No water, only -40 rated washer fluid used.

No plugged jets, took off a hose at windshield and no washer fluid would come out.

Pump will run, wipers are on, but no washer fluid. If pump is running should there be some pressure to spray the washer fluid?

Would I hear the pump motor running if it is not turning the actual pump impeller?

Are there any relays, where are they located?

Thanks.

Punko

Would noise come from pump area if it was not working?

Check out the pump
