What Causes Low Pressure or Inability to Spray Windshield Washer Fluid?
1 Answers
The reasons for low pressure or inability to spray windshield washer fluid are as follows: Low fluid level: Generally, if the windshield washer fluid cannot be sprayed, it is likely due to the fluid level being too low. Even if there is still some fluid in the reservoir, it may not reach the required height to be sprayed. Try refilling the washer fluid. Clogged nozzle: If the fluid still doesn’t spray after refilling, the nozzle might be blocked by dust. Use a fine needle to gently clean the nozzle. Frozen lines: Considering it is winter, the reservoir or lines might be frozen. After warming up the car, try parking it in the sun. If the fluid sprays afterward, it indicates the need to switch to a higher-grade antifreeze washer fluid. Blown fuse: If there is no sound from the motor when trying to spray the fluid, and the windshield wipers also don’t work, it could be due to a blown fuse or a damaged motor.
