Wiper Fluid not working
On my 2000 X the wiper pump stopped pumping fluid. I can hear the pump engage but nothing comes out. I disconnected the hose by the right fender well. Has little to no volume.
Any Ideas....

Before you change the pump...I know you said you disconnected right AT the res...but take a look under the carpet on the FRONT passengers side.
Peel back the TOP OUTSIDE corner of the carpet and you will see an elbow fitting with a hose going to it...mine pops apart about once per year right there and I lose fluid to the front (there's a rear one too but that's a different fitting)...do you have REAR fluid or NO fluid???...
I'd still take a look at that front passengers fitting area...but it sounds by the flow rate...you are headed to a new pump...just thought I'd share a small possiblility...
Good luck!
