Why is the windshield washer fluid not spraying in the BMW X5?

The reasons why the windshield washer fluid is not spraying in the BMW X5: 1. The windshield washer fluid level is too low, and the fluid content needs to be checked promptly; 2. The washer nozzle is blocked by dust, and a fine needle should be used to unclog the nozzle to restore normal spraying. Windshield washer fluid is widely used for quick cleaning and brightening of various types of glass, including car windshields, rearview mirrors, home glass, office glass, door and window glass, and decorative glass. The BMW X5 is the first four-wheel-drive SUV model from BMW, with body dimensions of 4930mm in length, 2004mm in width, 1776mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2975mm.
Last time my BMW X5's windshield washer fluid wouldn't spray, which was quite annoying while driving. Common issues include clogged nozzles from dust or dirt, especially when parked outdoors frequently. The water pump might be faulty - listen for a humming sound when operating the switch; no sound means it's broken. Another possibility is the washer fluid running too low, preventing the pump from drawing water. Blown fuses also commonly occur - BMW's fuse box is located in the glove compartment and can be replaced yourself. Pipe cracks or leaks are rare but worth checking. In my case, cleaning the nozzles with a fine needle solved the problem. I recommend regularly cleaning the nozzles and using pure cleaning fluid to prevent clogging, keeping the reservoir at least half full to avoid pump damage and unnecessary expensive repairs.
