Quick summary:
wiper fluid motor makes noises like it should when depressing the button, but no fluid comes out.
Thought the fluid was empty, so I filled it. Still no fluid delivery.
Wipers work fine, fluid motor sounds like it is working.

Seeing that everything is buried in the body panels, I was hoping someone had some insight on what might be the problem.

My first guess is something is blocking the fluid inside the reservoir or inside the delivery tube, or possibly one of the tubes is disconnected and the fluid went straight to the ground, but I didn't see any fluid in the garage when I filled it the last time. (nice run-on sentence).

Any help?

 

did you check to see if they were clogged?

 

First check the nozzles. If they are clogged, unclog them.

Second, lift the hood and check the connectors to the nozzles from underneath. Then follow the line to the y gate and see if there are any kinks.

Disconnect the hoses underneath the nozzles and then turn on the fluid. See if fluid comes out. If so...it's the nozzles.

 

thank you so much.
All I needed was a little direction.

disconnected the hoses from the nozzles, and the hoses worked just peachy.
removed the nozzles from the hood and stuck a small pin in them. One had brown residue in it, and the other appeared that the spring loaded ball bearing (that's what it looked like - a valve of sorts, I guess) was just stuck. wiggled around the pin, re-installed, everything is just dandy now.

Thanks for the help. You can go about your regularly scheduled weekend now.
