Hi Sayid, If you are not using it the container must be leaking. The most common causes are a broken pipe, a defective seal on the washer motor mount or the container is damaged and leaking. Regards John

Where to washer fluid 2015 kia sorento

Some years ago there was a move to standardise all those things that were the driver's responsibility such as screenwash, engine oil, coolant, etc., by colouring the caps yellow. I even saw yellow tyre valve caps at the time.
Unfortunately the manufacturers couldn't or wouldn't agree and so an excellent idea died young.

Easy answer number one is to suggest you read the vehicle driver's handbook if you have it. As the car is brand new there should be a nice new literature pack in the glovebox and if there isn't the supplier should be taken gently by the throat.
The literature pack also contains other valuable stuff such as service records, proof of delivery date, code numbers and suchlike and possibly the spare key(s). It is very important to have it.

In the absence of a handbook the screenwash filler is generally under the bonnet (or hood if you are foreign). These days screenwash bottles are quite large and some hold a couple of gallons so they are often fitted low in the space under the front wings, mudguards or fenders and a long spout is fitted so they can be filled from the engine compartment. The spout therefore is usually to be found near the extreme edge of the engine compartment, either side, and most often near the front. There is often a rather cryptic sketch moulded into the plastic lid vaguely resembling water squirting onto a windscreen after the wiper has just passed.

Failing that if you identify the oil, brake fluid, coolant and power steering the screenwash is about the only one left.

Adjust screenwasher jets

I use ......what we call a Bobby Pin.........but.....any straight pin will work. Just put the pin in the jet hole and move around....then check the fluid spray pattern on the windshield.

Fuel guage always shows empty

It sounds as if the fuel tank sending unit is faulty. This is a small float connected to a variable resistor on the fuel pump/sending unit assembly. Unfortunately this assembly is fairly expensive (over $300) and the fuel tank may need to be removed to replace it.

Screenwash freezing for hours on end presumably inside the tubing. I have insulated and use blue screenwash.

I recommend Prestone washer fluid. It costs more but it doesn't freeze as easily as the blue stuff.

I have a 94 accord, and the reservior is empty.

The fluid should be between the MIN and MAX marks on the side of the reservoir. DOT3 or DOT4.
Are you having a problem finding the reservoir? The filler cap? I believe that the reservoir is close to where the driver’s front fender meets the grill. The cap is on top. And the MIN MAX fill lines are at the front (at least that’s where it is on a 92).
By the way, if you ABS (ALB) light is coming on, that indicates that there is an electrical or hydraulic problem with the system, but if anything is wrong with the ABS it will automatically shut down and your regular brakes will function as they always do. The reason I point this out is that I’m not exactly sure what the problem is that you are having. Additionally, if you reservoir is entirely empty, you will probably have to have the system bled in order to get rid of any air that has gotten into it. And, of course, you would want to know where that brake fluid went. If I’m not understanding your problem, post a comment.
Hope this helps you.
