Couldn't correct the title of the thread sorry for the misspelling!

Ever since my windshield was bashed by flying debris: https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-sed...-pictures.html My windshield wiper fluid hasn't been spraying. It sprays dribbles out on the passenger side and nothing out of the driver side. Any ideas?

 

Check basic things first.

- Open your hood and have someone run the washer motor. Does it sound like it's working correctly?

- See if your washer container was busted or cracked near the top. If there's a lack of pressure in the container, it could cause flow problems.

- Check the hoses that connect at the trim at the base of the windshield. I'm betting the hoses haven't been put on correctly since you had to have the glass replaced. If you can, pull the hoses and run the washer motor. Is there any fluid coming out?

- Lastly, check the nozzles in the wiper arms themselves. I doubt it would be this, but it's good to give everything a once over.

 

1. Take a needle and poke the holes.
2. Use your washer to see if it worked.
If not,
3. take out nozzle, unhook washer fluid line and blow air in reverse order.
4. done

 

thanks all really appreciate it!

 

It's probably just the hose in the wrong place.
The hose that feeds them is really soft, and if it gets pinched under the plastic cowling at the back of the hood (that goes around the wiper bases) it won't work.

I know this because mine got pinched off when I put my battery cover back on.

Somewhere around the battery area, there's a little white inline filter or check valve or something... anyway, try unhooking that and have somebody pull for the washers (note, do not point the hose at your face )

If you get fluid, you know it's a problem with the hoses past that point or nozzles. If not, you know it's the pump or hoses before that point.
