Default i have no idea what to do....(windsheild washer fluid line)

can someone please help me? whenever i pull back on the washer fluid lever, nothing comes out of the little things on the hood that squirt out water onto my windshield. I have looked to see what could possibly be wrong and all i can see is a tube that leads NOWHERE. here are a few pics to give you more of an idea

That is an overflow vent for when you fill it.

Check on the hood by the squirters there is a Valve inline that goes bad.

Does the motor run?

Good evening,

In addition to Mr. Tech's suggestions, you might want to replace the in-line filter andboth squirters. I've also replaced the T-valve for the headlight washers.

Good luck,


JPN

Concur with what Tech and JPN have said. You will have to pull off the hood insulation pad (if it is still there) You will have to us do the retainers, but that is not hard. Once the pad is off you will be able to get to the washer hoses. Most likely the T-vavle is bad. I used compressed air and blew out my lines, replaced the T valve, and all is well.

Good luck
