Windshield washer dribbles
On my 2000 OHV Explorer the windshield washer just dribbles. I purchased a new pump and still dribbles.
I took the nozzles and pump from my 2000 SOHC Explorer that worked great and put them on the OHV one and still dribble.
I even cleaned out the lines first.
Any pointers as to how to get these to function properly?
Thanks in advance.

Sounds like you still have a restriction in the line (kink maybe) or there's something blocking the flow to the pump in the bottle.
What method did you use to clean out the lines?

pull the hose off the pump and see that it shoots out 2-3 feet under the hood.. connect the hose and pull the hose loose at the firewall where it goes up to the nozzles and see that it shoots out at that point. I have blown air thru the line inside the cowl/ firewall with the nozzles removed, then reinstall nozzles... with nozzles out, see that the pump will shoot water up to the roof thru the hose....
Narrow it down part by part, starting at the pump output... could be the suction to the pump inside the tank is plugged.
