Default Wiper Fluid ?
I just filled up my wiper fluid and when I pull in the wiper control the wipers go on but no fluid comes out? is there a pump in there? Might be busted? How hard to replace myself?

back to basics - listen for the pump - check for blockages ...

Default Check your fuse. My 25 amp fuse burnt last week
Same deal, pull, wipers work, but no water. The pump was dead.

I don't have ETKA on my new MacBook yet so I dunno. $200-300 ballpark though I could be way under.

I bet $50 it's the damned fuse. STFA and replace with 30amp.

Default <broken record> you headlight washer pump took a crap, change the fuse
....&amp; never operate washers with headlights on or change pump.....doable but removing &amp; reinstalling the output hose on the pump is a BITC*.
