2003 Kia Spectra, windshield wiper fluid. Only one works and that barely comes out. Need to change on my own cause I can not afford to pay someone to do this. Thanks!

Only the right (passenger) side works, it barely shoots out but it's enough to kind of get to the drivers side. I called and asked a garage and they told me $75 bucks to replace hoses and pump. I found it cheaper to do myself. $3 bucks for hoses and $4 bucks for the lil connectors. Thank you!

Hoses, nozzles could be plugged, try blowing them out with air first, if that fails to solve the problem then it's the pump

SOURCE: windshield wiper fluid will not squirt - wipers are fine but no fluid comes through

Either the pump is bad, or the nozzles are clogged.

SOURCE: How do you replace a Drivers side headlight bulb 2006 kia spectra

Helps to remove the battery, but small ahbds can do it.

Directly behind the lens is a big round cap ... twist it off. The bulb is held in place with a spring that locks in to a notch in the holder. When handling the new bulb, don't touch the glass. The oil from your skin will cause it to shatter when turned on.

I have a 2003 kia Spectra. I ran out of gas and put more in it but now my car won't start. you can hear the fuel pump come on but on some tries you dont. it sounds like it wants to start but doesn't.

Intermittent problems like yours are VERY difficult to fix. Afraid you need to take it in to a mechanic. But then, you can't start it, so need to pay someone to go to you.

Windshield wiper fluid won't come out

go to a place with compressed air and blow VERY EASY on both the hose off the reservoir and then back through the washers on the windshield outputs, but NOT too hard of air pressure so you don't split hoses or blow them off

Check engine light is on

You have to take it to a garage and have a code scanner connected to it to find out what is causing the light to come on.
There is a lot of sensors, and any one of them could cause the light to come on.Be prepared to pay $60 to $100. If there is an autozone parts store near you, call and see if they do it.Some of them do it free.It only takes about 30 seconds to retrieve the code or codes.good luck.

1990 Sentra left wiper inop

Hi. I had this happen to me on my 2000 F-150. You stripped out the gears in the wiper arm where it mounts on the motor. Replace the wiper arm on that side. They are inexpensive and very easy to change. Hope this helps. Let me know if I can be of anymore assistance. spellcheck.gif
