Windscreen Washer Not Working

Hey Guys
Just a question hoping someone might have the answer my windscreen washer isnt working anymore it is like there is no water left in the container it just dripples out the end of the nozzels. I have put the air hose down there and pulled the filter of the bottom of the container and cleaned it but it just doesnt do anything beside dripple out the jets. Hopefully someone might have an answer.

Cheers

Perhaps a hose has popped off, or a blockage??

Re: Windscreen Washer Not Working

I will check the hoses but i am thinking more a blockage as water comes out both jets but just dripples out the end like theres not enough water but its full. is there a motor or something that could be blocked i am unsure how they work. :?

DId the jets stop working after a polish and wax? The dried residue of polish which sometimes works its way into the jets will block them instantly. Poke some fine wire into the jets to clear any blockage. If this doesn't work check all the plastic tubing to make sure its not kinked/blocked and that your washer pump is working.

Re: Windscreen Washer Not Working

it is not uncommon for the washer motor intake to become blocked.
as it sits at the very bottom, any/all debre will be moved closer to motor till,
most get past and pumped out (due to small size, but block nozzles) or
and i have seen a customer present a vehicle, a blob of window cleaner that has been added to washer bottle.
in the above case the lady added dish washing liquid and it remained in a single blob, blocking and burning out motor.
as you have a 120, remove the motor (mounted forward of the bottle, just pulls out, but is tightly fitted),
flush bottle, test motor and use air to blow up washer line (low pressure) and use a paper clip straightened out to ensure nozzles are free of blockages
