Windshield Washers don't squirt... - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Vix · 06-03-2009, 11:00 PM

Hi, i have had this problem only for a few days now. When i got the car about a month ago the washers worked normal. Now i pull the handle and only the wipers function without the water squirting. I checked the fuse that work for the wipers and washer but it seemed fine, and like i mentioned, the wipers do work, just not the washers.
Someone has an idea of what the problem could be?
07 camry SE.

Thanks in advanced!

check to make sure you have fluid and it aint leaking somewhere and check the lines to make sure they aint frozen or broken. if not get it to the dealership and let em figure it out.

Uhhhh...did you check to see if you have windshiled washer fluid? The dash should also show an indicator to let you know when its low on fluid

I was going to say that but then thought it was too obvious. Check the lines.

check if the nozzles are plugged up...get a paper clip and clean them out....

Yeah forgot to mention i filled it up as well but still nothing. I will check the nozzles first, then i will check the lines. I will update in a little bit. Thanks!

Ok fellas, apparently the nozzles are not clogged. And i don't have warranty on the car =/... So what i want to do now is check the lines. How would i go about doing this? Follow the hoses? but where do they go? Sorry i'm very new with cars.

I found the problem. I jacked the car up a few inches to check to hose that connect to the tank. Hose was fine, it was the connection on the tank that was a little bit loose and almost unplugged for some reason...
But it works again now. Appreciate everyone's advice! Thank you

Another 'squirter' mystery solved. LOL

Have you serviced at the dealership lately? 10 bucks says that it was done on purpose so you would bring it in. Atleast that was the case for me.
