Anyone ever have issues with washer sprayers?
I had my windshield replaced recently, and after the service, the washers didnt work. I had someone come out to check it out again, and they said that everything was hooked up properly.
I live in the northeast, and I'm not sure if the lines could be frozen or not, but any ideas about what to test or what I could look at if needed? I can hear the motor running that runs the nozzles and the resevoir is full, I don't even see a dribble come out of the nozzles either. |

Not sure where you live or what washer fluid you have. Depending on where you live the fluid could be frozen. What type of washer fluid are you using? Try letting your car run for 10-15 min and see if that helps.

Thanks guys I'll give that a shot. I'm using just some generic washer fluid you can get from a gas station. I've never had issues with it in the past, but its been bitterly cold in massachusetts recently so its not impossible. I bet it froze down near the bottom of the resevoir.

i got the same issue but mine been like that since the summer & just been really lazy to check.
for me I'm thinking when they installed the turbo they left something out or loose. one day ill get off my lazy horse & check... ur case it does sound like its frozen since u said everything is connected correctly
