is it the cold? its was abbout 0 degress here in nyc the other night, and the winshield washer wasnt working. I figured its probably frozen, but i did have the car running for about a hour. Also i dont hear the motor that pushes the fluid out wich makes me think somethings wrong. I took it to the dealer last week for an oil change and to fix my heated seat and since then it hasnt worked, maybe they disconected something and forgot to put it back? any ideas? thanks

Sorry but have to ask - Is the reservoir empty?

The washer fluid in the lines could have frozen if you used some cheap fluid.

lol yeah if you put shitty washer fluid in it could've frozen. funny story .. my dumbass friend put water in his washer fluid reservoir cause he couldnt find his bottle of washer fluid .. yeah froze solid

nope i never put washer fluid in myself the dealer fills it up. I only had to do it 1 time last year. and yes there is fluid, i checked that.

Sometimes tip of the opening freezes and the washier fluid can not get through. it can happen because of the melted snow, or moisture. try cleaning the tip with the needle and it should work.

yea i thought of that, but the thing is i dont hear the motor.

Mine has been acting up too. Last dealer service I told them the
drivers side nozzle was spraying like an 80 year old man with
prostate problems - they said they "cleaned it and adjusted the
spray pattern" - yeah right, and topped up the headlight fluid
while they were at it.

haha underdog

if you dont hear the motor i think thats a problem. even when mine freezes (its happened once or twice) i can still hear the motor making its whining noise

well it just started working last night, who knows why. maybe the whole motor was frozen i dont know i know it was about 88 below zero here last week so i would say that was the cause of it
