Windscreen washer jets not working

[zishan03]

Hi,

I was driving around with the low fluid in the washer tank warning on for a few day using the odd squirt here and there. On my last squirt before I actually filled up the tank, the jets seemed to have no pressure behind them. Following this, I filled up the tank and the jets still had no pressure behind them and two days later stopped working altogether. When I press the button, I can here the motor working so I dont think that has failed, so possibly some rubbish has got into the lines when I let the tank get too low? If this is the case, what would be the easiest way to clean it? compressed air from the jets to the tank? or would that damage the motor?


Thanks in advance.

I would take off the pipe on the water tank to see if water is getting that far first.

Make sure the pipe that is near the battery is not kinked

Thanks alot for the replies guys, the pipe was kinked pretty bad so I straightened it out and all is fine now.

Thanks again.
