The reasons why the windshield washer fluid of Emgrand GL cannot be sprayed are as follows: Insufficient washer fluid: It may be due to insufficient washer fluid, or the water pipe being bitten off by a rat or the pipe interface falling off, which prevents the washer fluid from being sprayed. Filter screen blockage: The blockage of the filter screen is mainly caused by the use of inferior washer fluid or tap water. It is a cumulative process. When most of the filter screen is blocked, it becomes difficult to spray the washer fluid. Nozzle blockage: The nozzle may be covered when waxing the front windshield; frequently using inferior washer fluid or directly using tap water; or the washer motor may be damaged or there may be a circuit failure.

Yesterday, I took my Emgrand GL for a spin when suddenly the windshield washer fluid wouldn't spray—I was frantic! Looking back, there could be several reasons: clogged nozzles from dust or dirt are common, especially after prolonged city driving; in winter, frozen washer fluid can block the nozzles, so check if you've added antifreeze type; a faulty pump motor or blown fuse is troublesome—listen for a humming sound when pressing the switch to see if the motor's working; loose or leaking hose connections can also disrupt flow; or the switch itself might have poor contact. I've handled this a few times myself—start simple: check the reservoir level, clean the nozzle holes, then head to a repair shop if needed. Don't delay—driving with obscured vision is dangerous! Regular nozzle cleaning and using dedicated washer fluid helps prevent this.

Having driven the Emgrand GL for so many years, I've encountered the issue of windshield washer fluid not spraying several times. Here's a summary of the main problems: Nozzle clogging is the most common—just use a small needle to clear the holes. Pump failure, such as a burnt-out motor or no response, can be checked by listening for sounds when pressing the switch. A blown fuse in the engine compartment box is another possibility; replacing it is cheap and easy. Insufficient pressure due to leaks in the pipes or connections requires detailed inspection and repair. In cold weather, frozen washer fluid or inadequate concentration can also cause blockages. I usually advise friends to start by checking the nozzles and reservoir before dismantling anything. Using antifreeze washer fluid for maintenance can save a lot of hassle. After all, driving safety comes first, and timely action is always the right approach.

The most annoying thing about driving the Emgrand GL is when the windshield washer fluid won't spray. It's probably 80% due to clogged nozzles from dirt or frozen nozzles in winter when the reservoir water freezes! Other reasons like a broken water pump (no sound when pressing the switch) require checking if the fuse is blown, and fluid leaks in the pipes also affect water output. Quickly check if the reservoir is full and if the nozzles are clean. If not, go to a repair shop to fix it. Don't delay as it affects driving visibility—safety comes first, and simple fixes will do.
