Window washer stopped working
Ok got slammed with a snow storm this weekend. I went to drive the car this morning and tried to squirt some wash fluid nothing happened. The reservoir is full but nothing happens. It worked prior to the cold. I have a 2006 Evo IX MR. Any thoughts.
Most likely its just frozen in the lines. The washwer fluid bottoles say good to -20*F, but in the lines it's so spread out it just freezes anyways, as soon as it warms up everything should be fine.
more common than the lines freezing is the spray nozzles either freezing over or getting clogged with fluid residue...that would be where I go first...then I would check the fuse for the sprayer motor or listen for it to see if it's pumping.
^ Yea that too, just freezing of the system in general is the most common in these winter months. Mine has been fine except for some of these real real cold days we've gotten lately. I also noticed when mine didn't work the other day in my evo, I can usually hear the pump turn on, but I'm not sure if this system has some type of circuit protection when the pump is straining to just make it not turn on or what. I didn't hear the pump kick on that time
