What to Do When the Windshield Washer Doesn't Spray Water?

[Reginald]

Windshield wipers are blade-like structures installed in front of the windshield, composed of a motor, reducer, four-bar linkage, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade assembly. Solutions for when the windshield washer doesn't spray water: 1. Use a sewing needle, pin, or thin steel wire to unclog the spray nozzle; 2. Add windshield washer fluid, replace damaged hoses, and tighten loose connections; 3. Repair or replace the motor and its wiring. Reasons why wipers may not clean effectively: 1. Parking the car downwind from a central air conditioning cooling tower, where water particles torn by the tower scatter on the glass forming hard-to-remove white spots; 2. Insect secretions sticking to the windshield creating an uneven surface that's difficult to wipe off.
