hey guys, well recently its gotten snowy, and this means road mess and a filthy car..and windshield. well i recently noticed that i pull on the lever to spray the washer fuild in my accent, and i just hear the vrrrrrr! of the little motor working, but no juice! at first i thought this was cus it was cold, but then i decided to check it out on a warm day..and realized if i hold it down for a LONG time..it'll like finally squirt and dribble..maybe up to where the wipers are when motionless. the rear sprayer, odly enough, works strong and fine, almost instanly, even tho the travel is much longer. i tore out the wheel well plastice to see if there was a leak, cus i watched with the hood open, and the liquid goes down visibly in the tank as i hold the lever, but no juice!. the line didn't SEEM to have any leaks, and i followed it from the tank to the top of the car, then along the hood... so the liquid drains, but doesn't seem to go anywhere! ?<img src=/images/forums/snitz/oogle.gif width=15 height=15 border=0>? i also squeezed the tubeing, and it feels like there is just less pressure in that hose to the front than the one to the back. i don't think the motor or pump is busted, cus you hear it buzz and it sounds normal (i think there is a pump for front and back and they sound the same. just no juice! anyways..as i typed this i realized i guess i COULD re-route the hose for the front to the pump thats working the rear... and then id have to push the rear thing for the front..but that might let me see if its the hoseing, or the pump cus if it worked..then id kno all my hoses are ok... guess i COULD check that out now that i think of it, but its a last resort as it'll be some work (and wasted fluid when i bleed the tank to switch) so, any theories or experiences with such things? no my car's not on warranty, so don't just say that <img src=/images/forums/snitz/tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0>
