HokemBokem Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Yea so today I go to clean my window while driving and the damn water doesent squirt out from the wipers anymore I dont know what the hell is wrong. The wipers work fine its just no fluid comes out? I thought I was out of water in the resiviour but I checked and its almost full. So what could this be? Also the water on my car shoots out of the wiper itself, not from the hood like most cars ive seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check at the bottom of your wiper arms, there should be a tiny piece of tubing coming out right down below the windshield, and then going to your wiper arm. If not, check to see if that tubing came loose, if it did then you're shooting wiper fluid all over the outside of your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 could be the washer pump/motor... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 could be the washer pump/motor... That's my guess. Do you hear anything that sounds like a pump when you try to use the wiper fluid? If not, it's most likely the pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slick Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Junkyard. The pump is small enough to fit in your pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regal_GS_1989 Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 before you replace the pump, check out to make sure that the wiring going to the pump didn't come loose, or fall off some how. Also check the fuse and make sure that it is not blown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terryk2003 Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 i say its prolly the pump...i just replaced the one on my cutlass about a month ago...paid $25 @ napa for a new one...but, like they said above...make sure the wires are still hooked up...and maybe unplug the hose from the squirter itself and make sure its not just clogged up somewhere...

jeremy Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Where is the pump located? Should be on the bottom of the resevoir.....at least that is where they were on the cars that I have replaced one on....I have never had to do it on a w-body though....

DiscoStudd Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Do yourself a favor and buy a new one. Take a look at your washer tank. The pump is on the firewall side of the tank near the bottom. It's a black cylinder that sticks up from the bottom of the tank. It's a simple 10-15 minute replacement (it would be even quicker if you didn't have to remove the "crossbrace" and move the fuse panel out of the way to get the tank out.) Be sure you install the new rubber seal on the tank when you change the pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HokemBokem Posted March 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Allright just went out and checked all my fuses and everything was good then I pop the trunk and the hose was completely broken off just hanging in the engine bay. I dont know how to fix that and ill get some pics up in a min where it broke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscoStudd Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 I think I'd try to find a tiny piece of copper tubing that would fit inside of that plastic tube that's broken off. Remove the rubber hose from the one end, and using the copper tube, splice the two halves back together. Maybe use some epoxy to better bond the 2 halves back together (as long as the copper tube is inside for support, you won't have to worry about it breaking apart again.) After the glue dries, hook the hose back up and you're all set... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Yeah I'd just try and glue it...Krazy Bond or epoxy is stronger then most ppl think! - Jeff L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
