no fluid out of the thinga ma jigs

1. When you push the button, does the washer pump make noise.

If no, then check the connection. If connected, you probably have a bad pump that simply need replacement.

If yes, then check to make sure the Y connector isn't broken. This is pretty common. It's located under the hood next to the passenger side nozzel.

If its pumping and the U connector is intact, then your nozzle jets are probably clogged. Small needle in the holes will fix.

If none of the above, contact your local catholic priest to perform an exorcism.

I have a similar problem - pump has been replaced with a unit on the firewall but the fluid seems to drain back to the bottle and I have to run the pump for two or three minutes before any fluid appears. After that it pumps fine.

I had the same problem until I realized I was using to wrong button. I would press the mist levermagger down, but no fluid would come out. I then realized you had to press the button on the side in to make the fluid come out, and just like magic it did.
