Hi guys,

My windshield washer sprayer has always worked fine, that is, until now. I think I let it get too low and now it won't spray as it used to.

Is there a trick to fix this?
Did I get air in the lines or something like that?

Thanks!

Check to make sure the rubber junctions near the squirters haven't broken up. You'll probably need to lift the hood padding to inspect.

Possible causes:
Frozen washer fluid.
Low/no fluid.
Bad pump (do you hear anything when you pull the lever?)
Broken/disconnected hose.
Clogged washer jets.
