What is the reason why the windshield washer fluid of Baojun 310 cannot be sprayed?

[DelAaliyah]

The windshield washer fluid of Baojun 310 cannot be sprayed because the nozzle of the car is blocked, or the car's fuse is burned out, causing the motor to fail to work properly. It is necessary to replace the car's fuse in time and clean the car's nozzle promptly. Windshield washer fluid is the common name for car windshield cleaning fluid, mainly composed of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, and other activators. The Baojun 310 is positioned as a small hatchback car, with a body length, width, and height of 4032mm, 1680mm, and 1470mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2550mm. The Baojun 310 uses two engines in total, one is a 1.2-liter naturally aspirated engine, and the other is a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine.

My Baojun 310 also had the issue of not spraying windshield washer fluid last week. First, check if there's still fluid in the reservoir—sometimes you just didn't notice it's empty. Then listen for the motor humming sound when trying to spray. If there's no sound at all, the fuse might be blown or the motor could be faulty. If you hear the sound but no fluid comes out, the nozzle might be clogged with dust or tree sap—try poking the small holes with a fine needle or paperclip. In winter, pay extra attention as the fluid might freeze; use antifreeze-type washer fluid. These are things you can check yourself. If none of these work, it's likely a hose leak or water pump problem, and you'll need to see a professional mechanic.

I drove a Baojun 310 for several years and encountered the issue of windshield washer fluid not spraying out twice. The first time, the nozzle was completely clogged with insect remains, and I carefully unclogged it using a toothpick. The second time, regular washer fluid froze into ice during winter, blocking the entire water passage. I recommend first removing the nozzle and soaking it in warm water for cleaning, while also checking if the hose from the reservoir to the nozzle is bent or cracked. If the motor works intermittently, it’s likely due to poor electrical contact. Don’t cut corners by using tap water instead of washer fluid, as mineral deposits can easily clog the system. These minor issues can usually be fixed by yourself. If all else fails, then visit a repair shop to replace the parts.

For the Baojun 310, if the windshield washer fluid isn't spraying out, there are typically three most common scenarios. The simplest fix for a clogged nozzle is to use a thin wire to clear it. The second possibility is low washer fluid—check the level in the black plastic reservoir located on the left side of the engine bay by opening its cap. The third issue could be a non-functioning pump, possibly due to a blown fuse; look for the washer fuse in the fuse box under the steering wheel and try replacing it. In winter, if the nozzle is frozen, thaw it with a warm towel. If there's a leak in the hose, you'll notice water stains. These checks are straightforward and can usually pinpoint the problem within ten minutes.

Checking the windshield washer system requires a step-by-step approach. First, open the hood to inspect the washer fluid level and top it up if low. When testing the spray, place your hand near the nozzle to feel for airflow - presence of air indicates a clogged nozzle. If you don't hear the motor sound, check the fuse box; there's a 15A fuse marked for the washer motor located below the steering wheel. If the motor runs but no fluid sprays, inspect whether the hose connection has come loose and squeeze the soft hose to check for hardening or aging. Finally, consider if the filter screen in the reservoir is clogged with debris or if the pump impeller is damaged. Switching to antifreeze washer fluid before cold weather is crucial.

As an experienced owner, I believe the washer fluid issue with the Baojun 310 should be diagnosed based on sound. When activating the washer switch, listen carefully: Complete silence usually indicates a blown fuse or a dead motor. If you hear the motor but no fluid comes out, clogged nozzles are the most likely culprit, especially after prolonged parking under trees. Weak spray with fluid output suggests either a cracked hose or insufficient pump pressure. Frozen lines in subzero winter temperatures can also cause this. By the way, overfilling the washer reservoir actually hinders pump performance - just fill to the MAX line on the tank. Clearing clogged nozzles yourself is the simplest fix, taking just seconds.
