Useless Wiper fluid sprayer...Thing.
Anyone know what would cause the windshield wiper sprayer thing to not work so well?
When I turn it on it just kinda sprays a bunch at the very bottom of the window, but none of it makes it to the mid-upper window unless I'm going like, 70mph.

if you take a small paper clip or a thumb tack you can stick it in that little hole to clean it. once its clean you can actually move the inside part of the sprayer to go the direrction you want. hope this helps

he's got you covered , now for the hard one, the rear one? i know it's unclogged cuz i've done the same trick you recommended but nothing squirts out of it lol, so i guess it's clogged up before it gets to it...where do the lines run through? i don't wanna tear the roof off my car lol.

for the rear one why dont you try using it and have someone put their ear upto the bag that holds the rear washers fluid. htis is to see if the pump is working. if not you can remove the trim around the rear window and clean the piece of rubber hose out. try that tell me how it works.

My rear wiper AND fluid don't work. I assume it may be a fuse, since I haven't changed any of those yet, or even checked them. It might even be the pump, but I've still got the black metal fin things still on, so it doesn't need cleaning very often anyway.

where is the bag for it at? and also which window trim? i've taken both the little side vent trim off and haven't seen anything before, and i don't see anything running beside the rear quarter windows either, i'm not too worried about it, but it's good to have it in the winter when the windows are all iced up.

the tube for the sprayer originates at the washer fluid bag. then it runs behind the rear speaker/wheel well cover. then it turns up and travels between the front and rear driver side windows. finally it follows the roof over to the sprayer. easier than it sounds.
btw which button is for the raer sprayer b/c mine never worked

alright, yeah i figured it out before you said anything thanks tho, anyways, at first i felt stupid cuz i was looking in the wrong place until i looked on the very back hahaha, the bag only had a bit of liquid so i felt stupid, i refilled it, and went in and pushed the button (the button for the rear spray is the one that turns on the rear wiper, you just gotta press and hold it) i could hear the little motor running, but no water so i went back and blew through the hose and out came all the gunk, then i pressed the button again and there was no engine, so i took off the switch and the connections were dirty.......
i don't even know why i'm taking this as a big deal haha, i've dealt w/out it for 2 years now but i think it'd be nice once winter comes around that way i don't have to get out and scrape the ice off, i can just turn the switch on and be lazy.
