Washer bottles are of poor quality plastic and crack allowing the water to run out
have you checked and put water in the reservoir lately
other than that it is the pump or blocked nozzles

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.

WINDSHIELD WASHER NOT WORKING. HAS FLUID

Your hoses could be frozen if its cold where you are. Check the hoses for cracks. You might find fluid in your engine compartment if you have a broken hose. Listen to hear if the motor is pumping. There should be some sound either a click or a whiz sound when you push the washer button. If you hear no sound then check the wires on the pump. If they look good you probably need to replace the pump.

My 2003 malibu-the windshield wipers work but I,m not getting any washer fluid-usually you can hear the motor when you push the button to get washer fluid-I,m not hearing anything.Also where is the washer...

I had this problem last month. I was pushing the fluid button and was not hearing the motor. There could be two problems in this case. Either the unit in the steering wheel is malfunctioning, or there may have been non winter washer fluid in the pump and it froze and broke. In my case it was both, the button had to be jammed in to work, so the whole unit was replaced(turn signal and wiper control are together). The second problem was the the washer motor and is located on the drivers side, right under the washer fluid container. If you have parts laying around they are both very easy to fix.

The winshield washer fluid won't work, but it sounds like I can hear the little motor when I push the end of the wiper blade switch

Push the washer fluid button and hold it for 20 sec then look under the truck and seeif you see the washer fluid dripping on to the ground, if theres no sign of the washer fluid then you have a bad washer pump, which is located on the side of the washer bottle, if theres fluid dripping then you will need to follow the line, start at the washer nozzles, this is where it breaks the most, if the line is plastic you can use a peice of rubber hose that size and connect the broken line back together with the hose, hope this helps.

2005 Suzuki Forenza Wiper Washer Inop.

first and foremost, check that all your fuses are good. If they are, your next step would be to pull the winshield washer motor out and test it by applying 12 volts from the battery directly to the motor to see if it turns on. if it works then your problem is in the wiring, check that you are getting power to the harness when you turn it on. Now, if the motor does not work while applying battery power, then you need a new washer motor.

My 96 Jeep GC windshield washer isn't squirting. I can hear it run when pushing the washer button and I hear fluid running ; but it doesn't spray on the windshield. Also , my wiper blade in the rear window...

your rear wiper motor might be faulty,in the front i would check your fluid level-if it is full and you hear the pump running-check your washer lines to see if they are pinched-usually around where the hood closes
