Windshield washer fluid won't spray

Informational, low priority

washer fluid pump not working · no water comes out when pressing washer

Symptom description

Pressing the washer fluid stalk or button produces no spray on the windshield, even though the wipers themselves work.

Common causes

  • An empty washer fluid reservoir (check this first)
  • A clogged spray nozzle
  • A failed washer fluid pump
  • A cracked or disconnected washer fluid hose

What to check

Check the washer fluid reservoir level first - it is by far the most common and simplest cause.

Can you keep driving?

Safe to drive, but top up the fluid soon - it is important for clearing road grime and maintaining visibility.
