Windshield Washer Fluid Not Coming Out? System Diagnosis

[@kimberlyannhughes7855]

I have to say that this is honestly one of the most thorough, easy to follow, well annunciated, helpful tutorial troubleshooting video I have ever seen for anything along these lines. I'd hug you if I could and gift you with home baked cookies. Honestly, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

[@BavarianMachines]

Im both astonished and amazed at how much content was covered in this 1 video. I would usually have to watch at least 3 videos and piece the information together!😂 Thank you so much for posting this, extremely helpful for novices like myself! Absolute Legend!👍

[@edickinsongurl2]

Wow!! Just bought a used car and no fluid, this video is phenomenal!!! I now know how to diagnose the problem!! You Sir are AWESOME!!

[@deepspacetravel9016]

This type of video should be taught at schools. So simple, yet so helpful. No unnecessary content

[@rodeffercircus1132]

Thanks, that was super helpful! I'm glad to learn my fix was broken nozzles and that is something I can fix myself. Vids like these are vital to us low income folks to keep mobile!

[@gunsdonovan9183]

Not only low income rodeffer, modern cars are made so complex these days that there is a fear to tackle anything, but these videos give confidence.

Hey, really nice video. I was concerned when I bought my first car and I didn’t get any window washer fluid. I tried to ignore it for as long as possible. Until I was driving one afternoon and the sun was going down. I took a turn and my whole windshield was covered in dirt I hadn’t ever noticed. It almost caused me to run off the road. My right front and back tires were completely off the road at one point. So I had to stop and wait for the sun to go down a bit. So thank you for the video, you may not know it but more that likely there’s been a few people in my same situation that watched this and going to fix it this way. So once again, thanks from me and everyone in my situation.

[@packrat9433]

Always carry windex and a roll of paper towels in your car. It also helps if your A/C id down and you are fogging. Clean the crap out of the inside of the windshield and the water has nothing to stick to.

[@intensecutn]

Mate, you have a really good tutorial voice. Seriously, you could do it professionally! *edit* After watching the video, you don't just have the voice for it, but you make a very well done tutorial. Very comprehensive and thorough, clear, direct, and easy to understand. Just a top notch no bullshit tutorial! Seriously after all the tutorials I have watched on KZbin for a huge range of topics, I think this has been the best I have ever watched. Bravo.

[@SaraAlbright1]

As someone who has very little knowledge of car repairs, cars in general, I must say the way you described everything was extremely easy to follow and understand. I never leave reviews on random KZbin videos, in fact this is my first and only, but I must say thank you! Great video ! And you have a knack for explaining things! If you are not a teacher you should be!

6:21 - for fluid flow related troubleshooting (pump is working)

[@ericdraven7857]

Yeah but it’s different for every car. My Honda Accord is nothing like this

[@leslieh4899]

awesome video, thank you! I googled the price to have the front washer motor replaced and immediately called my son to see if he was available. Your video convinced me that it was not worth >$500 to replace it but instead ask my son to troubleshoot and repair instead.

[@janinebolon]

I have to tell you, THANK YOU! We are coming up on the holidays and you saved me $279!!!! I fixed it myself and was able to add the savings to my Holiday Gift Giving Budget. Bless you!

[@AnAmericanJedi]

Great video! Mine would push out some fluid but not very much. It ended up being a clogged grommet that connects to the pump. Cleaned it out and works good as new!

[@karllom9055]

This video just saved me money and headaches. Had already bought pump, turns out it was the fuse. By the end this video the pump was functioning as intended. Thanks!

[@vickiejackson4545]

I had my windshield replaced, and my wiper fluid didn't work after that. Even though the fluid hose wasn't in the same location as in your video, you helped me trace to where it came up-- and to where the other part of the hose where it was disconnected was located, leading to the sprayers! Thanks for this great trouble-shooting video!

[@peterbarr238]

This video is amazing however I would highly recommend anyone trying to fix their washer system to check the easiest things first. I followed the video chronologically and disassembled my whole bumper to get to the pump and realized it was working properly but wasn't receiving power. The issue was a fuse which I could have checked in 5 minutes instead of the hours I spent on the bumper.

[@Eros4tw]

Ive been driving around with my wiper fluid not working for months. Watched this, and looked under that hood mat thing only to find that the connector piece had disconnected from tube. 2second fix. Thank you!

[@ryanfaze4541]

Almost had to pay 120$ for someone to look at the problem probably to find out that my pump was not working wow! Saved me lots thanks

[@mhn...]

For me that has almost no knowledge in mechanics, it was useful, thanks for sharing and taking the time to do the video :)!

[@calebbarrett176]

Thanks so much! When I heard the pump kick on realizing it was not electrical was such a relief (compared to before your video when I had no idea what was wrong).

[@ΓεώργιοςΘεμελής-η7ο]

Congratulations.One of the best videos in the world explaining the washing system and how this works. Very simple, very understandable, with an excellent sound accompanied in parallel with the writing part of what it was told verbally. The video image and screen is also of a very good quality and finally, concerning the time of the video, it is well organized and explaining in a very little time all the functions of the washing system. I think this is a full video of whatever is needed for the diagnosis of each problem and it fully covers all the problems of a washing system in a very understandable way.

[@gavinchalmers8973]

The way this video and the advice offered in it is delivered are excellent. No buzz words or jargon. Really easy to understand.

[@karleehanna9138]

This video is so helpful and to the point! Clear and concise and very informative. I love that you incorporate a visual guide as a guide bc some people (myself) understand instructions easier along with a dialogue and the video of how to do what you’re doing. I appreciate that you also included what objectives could intervene showing both electrical and also mechanical! Awesome. Wish more videos I search for would be this way! Keep it up. Thank you so much

[@troyannwilliams]

THANK YOU!!! There was a leak in the hose and I found it right away because of your instructions and information. THANK YOU!!! 🎉

[@donnagage1170]

If you're looking to fix your rear washer this video will not explain how to fix it. Only if it's the pump or front window washer. The video was great for that

[@gunsdonovan9183]

Great video, it led me in the right direction for my car where the pump was working but no water coming from the nozzle, the nozzle was not blocked, as it was a rear washer and the hose runs thru the chassis i had a problem, after watching this video i thought to myself ''what if a backflush the hose'' i did so using a 60ml syringe connected to the hose at the rear, after forcifully applying pressure to the hose for about 30 seconds i got a loud SPLURT coming from the front, seems the hose itself had an obstruction and back pressure cleared it, so to be sure i ran about 1 litre through then connected everything back up and now have rear wash, thank you for the inspiration Easy Mechanic.

[@The1402784]

Two things; First, Subscribed. Second, you are awesome. Thank you.

[@nate4222]

No multi meter here. Just went for the pump replacement. Still no buzzing. Should have started with the fuses lol. Oh well. Thank you for the tutorial!!!

[@armandmarkarian7705]

TY so much! Well Done - With your video I solved my problem in 5 min. It was a leaking tube at the juncture where it splits to 2 lines. There was enough slack to cut out 1.5" and reconnect - Perfect now!

[@debwoods6011]

You are so awesome. Im an older lady that watched this and was able to fix my line. Plus i watch your video on how to get and electric window to go back up. The one where you find the right wire with a multi meter. I need a new switch but i got the window up until i can get the part. Thanks

[@pennyhallam8830]

Thankyou so much. You are such a great teacher. I look forward to many more informational videos. We are 2 girls doing life our way and like to do everything our self's and been living without a window washer for so long. N with ur video, boom we fixed it. All credit to you. Thankyou heaps from to very happy nnnnew Zealand girls. 💞😁🙂

[@emiscand]

I am a solo girl in Scotland trying to learn and also save money. Thanks for this video!

[@TheWhitde]

Front one was stuffed... so pulled all out and found front motor needed replacing. Tested on my 12V supply. Ordered new and got for $11. Put in and didn't work. Checked fuses etc... then after watching this noticed I was pushing the wrong button. Now works. Prob saved $200+ by the time an auto electrician found the fault, charged $100 for the part and labor.

[@amazonwarrior7126]

Thanks for your video, I have a focus 2007 so I have checked the fuse, cleaned the pump and replaced, but it was working anyway, but its cheap, to buy checked the nosels, so the only thing is to check the relay, so hopefully I find the right one, your videos are simple to understand, also no water was coming from under the bonnet to the spray nosels, so it could be the relay in the engine bay.

[@karmakay7566]

Thanks!! This was the BEST car video I’ve ever seen!!

[@gregv1717]

Found a blocked part in the fluid system. I'm soaking it now. If that doesn't work, I'll see if I can find that part. Thanks for the thorough video!

[@SmokeumPeacepipe]

thank you for helping me. with the information in this video i discovered that nothing was wrong with my washer fluid system at all, other than there being one tube was disconnected. as simple a fix as there could be, but your video gave me the understanding to find it.

[@stanvav3277]

Nozzles can be also removed with 2 credit cards. With the hood closed, push from the front and the back of the nozzle. That is where the clips are. This is useful when there is no access. Like Toyota Sienna. Make sure not to lose the hose.

[@MommaGrande]

Great job with your explanation and execution of the video. Very easy to understand and much appreciated

[@WalkOverHotCoal]

Good video. Thank you very much. Your systematic diagnosis is applicable to just about all potential problems one could face in cars. I once found ants in the washer nozzle. They seek water and ended up in the washer bottle, and then got sucked into the lines.

Fabulous. Your genius delivery of accurate information was on point. I understand completely what is needed from this concise video. Thanks.

[@Proudpapa50]

If your motor runs, fluid doesn’t come out, before you replace anything, check the filter from reservoir to pump. It may be clogged with gunk. This will also inhibit fluid from entering the pump. As a friendly reminder...Make sure your reservoir is empty before doing so or you will lose fluid quick

[@javierserranoyoutube]

I think this is the issue I have on my 2015 Ford Escape. The pump buzzes but no fluid neither on the front nor rear nozzles.

[@Proudpapa50]

@@MrDave1963 this was 3 years ago on my pilot. If I remember right, I emptied the reservoir and the filter was underneath. I followed the hose to the pump or you can follow the windshield hoses to the pump. I had a crack in the line and one of the nozzles was clogged.

[@louel9272]

[@perryrose8843]

My Tundra would spray when the hood was open only. I didn't realize it and changed the pump. Again, it sprayed with the hood open but when I closed the hood it didn't spray. By accident I found the hose pinched by the hood bumper at the rear corner. Pulled the slack out of the hose and it works fine.

[@DefPirateGaming]

First I want to say thank you for this video. It's very well put together. So, I tried checking all of the things I could but eventually had to resort to going to a repair shop. They told me the pump is fine but there is a short that is causing the fluid to not come out. They told me it would be 1,100+ dollars to fix. Seems pretty steep to me. What do you think? Car is a 2016 Audi s4.

[@MakeItEasyMechanic]

Hard to say what they mean by the "short that is causing the fluid to not come out", But $1100 does sound like a lot, (although European cars aren't cheap to work on). I would recommend getting a second opinion and hopefully a better quote. Good luck!

[@packrat9433]

Before replacing the switch, I would disconnect the hose directly at the pump, take cheap wire (like stereo wire) and go directly from battery to pump for 1/2 a second. if the pump fires and squirts, then you can figure it is the switch... To make it lower amperage and easier, I might use a 12V battery from a hand tool or deer feeder (for example).

[@xandrialayne]
