If the back works then the problem is either the pump motor or frozen lines/sprayers. The motor reverses direction depending on whether you're spraying the front or back. If the back works but the fronts don't, first try parking in a warm garage to try to thaw the washer lines. If that doesn't work you may need a new pump. Bob |

When my washers weren't working, the problem was in a check valve under the cowl. It's y-shaped and splits off to each sprayer, and mine was restricted. Might want to check that. |

Dealing from experience, do not mix different types of washer fluid. I was using Rain-X wwf then topped it off with regular blue stuff. Well, what happened was the two kinds congealed and what "came" out of the nozzles looked like...yeah - on my windshield. It was gross as hell to say the least, but I had to remove the lines and the pump and clean them out, and had to go through a almost a whole tank of fluid to clean out the inside lines! |
