If you wax your car with a compound type stuff (meguirs cleaning wax), the excess wax will get caught in the little holes. A pin is best, you can also check and make sure the lines didn't get eaten by mice or something like that

wow that would be pretty crazy... I'll will remember to check. So many things coming and going that I keep forgetting... Its hard to remeber when you don't use them too often...

See the weirdest thing is that I was using them last week and the fluid ran out while I was using them. So I filled it up and now nothing comes out...

Now thats weird..

I had a similar problem awhile back. Nothing was coming out. I tried and tried. I took it to the dealership closest to me and went to show 'em what was up.

Sure enough... the damn thing worked. Sometimes(the service guy said) you just have to let the pressure build up.

That's no fun. I hate it when that happens.

But really, Jerianna, you should try this - pop the squirters out of the hood and put each one in a cup of hot water while someone holds the lever and sprays... That didn't sound right either.
