no wiper fluid?
I removed my washer fluid/antifreeze resivior last fall when I was doing some major work to my truck. All is back together now and driving, but for some reason I cannot get fluid out of the nozzles on the front of the truck. The wipers work fine, and the tank is full. When I pull the hose out of the bottom of the tank fluid pours out, so it isn't clogged, at least not there.
Looking for a solution.
Thanks
Chris

Chris,
Try this. Take a look at the actual nozzles were the fluid sprays out onto the windshield. Make sure that the hole is not clogged. You might have to take a piece of wire to clean out the holes of any debris. Next, make sure that there's actual fluid in the rubber line from the tank to the windshield. Now, disconnect the line at the tank and blow into the line and see if the fluid comes out at the windshield? If yes, then hook the line back up and give it a try. If still no fluid and the lines and nozzles are clean then it might be the pump or a fuse. Good luck!

Can you hear the pump run when you hit the button?
If not does the pump have 12v power to it when you push the button?
If not is the fuse blown?
If the pump connector has power to it, the connections between it and the pump are clean and it does not run the pump is likely just dead. Very common and it is easily replaced, but be careful removing the lock ring. Don't snap it when you remove it to get the pump out, new pumps do not include a new one IIRC.
