Weak windshield washer spray

[Ttweedy]

So has anyone had the issue with a weak washer spray. My assumption it's needing a new pump.

Thanks,
Todd

Thx, I checked the nozzles and they appeared to be clear. I rooted around with a pin and nothing.

Thoughts?

I would just start at the reservoir and try to trouble shoot from there. If you don't have a shop manual can see if I can upload the wiper section.

I don’t, that would be awesome! Thx!

I'm sorry to took me so long to send this, I never think about it when I'm at home, attached is the overview, if you want a single component let me know, there are about 8 sections under windscreen washing system.

Had a similar issue.

Ended up being my Resovoir was cracked, and simply had a small amount in the tank—so not enough fluid to prime/allow much pressure to build up.

Thx, mine will hold fluid no problem. It just arch's it to the bottom half of the windshield. When your driving it's no good at all.

Probable that the pump is failing...

Try replacing the nozzles first.

Then--if that doesn't fix it--disconnect the tubing to one of the nozzles, and hook to a long tube from another car's nozzle(that you've disconnected)

Basically--you're using Car B's pump to test YOUR LR's nozzle.

If it squirts great--you know the pump is shot.
