You can clean out the sprayer holes with a needle, some have two holes, so look closely.
Hope this helps.

Start with basics. check if resevoir is empty. most likely a frozen nozle. Maybe a frozen, blocked or kinked/broken hose. If you are in cold area, warm up car in garage add washer fluid with low freeze temperture. If not froze; look up diagrams online and check hose, filter screen in resevoir, and tip of nozle.

Why when i push the button for my winshield my wipers work but no washer fluid comes out and i dont hear the sound like the motor is not running...can anyone help me?

If you have washer fluid in the contaner under your hood, then have someone listen with the hood up to see if the motor on the pump runs. If it does not run you have a loose connection usually at the washer motor or a bad fuze to the water pump. Fuse is in the fuse cluster, usually under the dash.

My windshield washer is not working correctly.

Assuming you have washer fluid and you can hear the pump with no flow at the main line I would guess the turbine has separated from the pump shaft.

Windshields washer wont spray

If you can hear the washer bottle motor then you know its not an electrical problem, if you can see the fluid in the lines then the best thing to do would at each connection in the hose disconnect the line and operate the washes and see if the fluid comes out (also pay attention to pressure) do this until you reach the washer nozzles. The nozzles could be blocked. now you might say that you put new lines on so the nozzles shouldn't be blocked well if you think of it the previous hose could have been partly bocked thereby stopping any **** that is at the filter on the washer motor going anywhere(most modern cars have filters on the washer motors) So by putting new lines on you have allowed the **** at the motor travel all the way to the nozzles letting them get blocked.
Hope this helps.

Washer fluid will not come out

Get a helper to turn on the washer while you listen closly in the area of the fluid tank. You should hear the pump turn on. If you do not hear the pump. Check for loose wiring. Check for a bad fuse. If all that is ok, you have a bad washer fluid pump motor. If you hear the pump motor running, check for some crud in the tank that may have stopped up the small screen in the bottom. Check the small hoses that connect the pump to the sprayers on the hood.

I have an 07 Pontiac Torrent, The windshield washer is not working. I've checked the hoses to the nozzles, they are not plugged. when I depress the washer switch I can hear the pump working, the fluid...

is it frozen? don't know the temp where you are , but here in Green Bay, Wi. we've had a run of this lately. if that's not the case, then the pump may be running but not able to pump, which will require replacement of the pump motor. good luck!

The resovir appear to be full however i am not ablew hen pulling the handle to get the washer fluid to come out i hear the motor working but noting comes out

HI:
Often the washer nozzles can get clogged. If you hear the washer pump running, you need to disconncect the small hose from the washer nozzle, and see if you get fluid pumped thru it when you hit your washer switch. If so, you need to unclog or replace the nozzle, and if no fluid is pumped out the hose, you need to remove and inspect the washer pump, as it might be dirty, or failed.

The window washer fluid does not come out when pressed. where do i start to check?

check the washer fluid canister to see if you can hear the pump. If so, then check screen in tank and hoses and spray nozzles for clogs. If you cannot hear pump when you press the button, check the fuse and the wiring to the canister.
