weak windshield washer spray

tobyd · Sep 29, 2022

Hi,

My 2015 has lost pressure in the washer spray -- weak spray coming out of the driver's side and zero from passenger's side. Any pointers on the most likely culprit? I do not see any leaks under the hood when it's spraying, so the pump maybe has gone bad?

Thanks
Toby.

Are you using rainx or rainx additive? Could be clogged jets. These trucks gets clogged easy with Rainx unfortunately. I stopped using rainx and started just doing the windshield application of rainx and used the cheap Walmart washer fluid. No more clogs

Make sure the spray nozzles aren’t blocked as well.

Id start by making sure there’s fluid, then disconnect the line going to the first nozzle and see if fluid comes out when you select washer on.

if there’s fluid…… it’s not your pump, or line from the pump to the nozzle.

Next only connect one washer nozzle to the line you just checked, and test that. Process of elimination. Connect the remaining side and check that.

New nozzles are not expensive, but I’d definitely stick with Mopar. Haven't seen too many aftermarket ones last that long.

Same thing happened on my 2015. The tube had came off under the hood it's above the insulation so you couldn't see it. But water would run off under hood. So open hood and use washer see if water is leaking out above hood cover

I just changed my nozzles today for the 4th time they break often one is probably broken on the bottom.

Also if anyone wants to know a cheap replacement that actually sprays right instead of the $50 oem one.

I just bought some -- they're so cheap they're worth trying on top of also looking for leaks.

Fixed it -- the passenger's side sprayer was broken off at the elbow joint. I just busted it out and replaced it with the one linked too above by jws123. Thanks for the link!
