Windshield Washer - low pressure? leaks?
Anyone have leaks/problems with the windshield, squirt/spray system?
Mine empties after 4/5 uses and can barely squirt 5" up onto the windshield.....
I'm 'going in' this weekend, any help is appreciated.
I'll document what I find and post...

Sounds like a loose connection.
You may have a leak next to the washer pump. The pump has 2 outputs. 1 for the windshield, and 1 for the headlights.
Do you notice any large puddles of water under the car immediately after you spray?

The reservoir holds over 2 gallons- if you're only getting 4-5 uses, then.....
the rest is disappearing onto the ground somewhere. A common leak point is at the headlamp washers and the plumbing leading to them. I'd check there first. Also, there should be some indication of wherer it is leaking by the spots on the ground.

I had this problem. It was an easy fix
Open the hood. There is a connector that comes loose. It is located under the windshiels on the passenger side. Make someone else sprays the windshield while you inspect where the leak is. You should see the water gushiung a lot of it.

Anyway, I haven't done any trouble shooting yet and I'll be too busy until Friday.
I'll report back this weekend...
Thanks to all...
