Weak washer fluid spray?

[pontiac69]

Anyone else have a weak washer fluid spray? Min sprays the window near the bottom 2” of the window. Pulled the nozzles and I can’t even blow air into them. But then pulled the hose and I think the pump is weak. What do you think?

When you activate the washer pump with the stalk button, does the pump make a high-pitched whine like it's running fast or is it a lower tone like the pump is running slow?

With the nozzles disconnected the pump can only supply volume and will not shoot out very hard. The pump uses the nozzles as a restriction to build pressure and then spray the glass.

If the pump is running slow then I suggest picking up a new unit and be done with it. I also recommend a new pair of washer nozzles.

It takes like 5 seconds before fluid even reaches the nozzels to spray. All hoses were clear as i was able to blow in them. But the nozzles were very restrictive. As for it running slow or fast i feel it pumps slow.

Forget the truck.
Wait until it happens to you.

Drop a flomax in the washer bottle

Where is the pump. In the washer bottle. Wonder how hard it is to get to.

I had a brand new nozzle clog, they don’t take much pressure, I would replace both and I bet it resolves ur issue.

The washer pump is located in the bottom of the washer bottle. It's easy to remove and replace. It presses into the washer bottle with a rubber grommet to seal around it.

I recommend a new pump and a pair of washer nozzles.
