A lot of people don't know that the windshield washer fluid system on these sonatas doesn't work by pushing the button on the side of the steering wheel handle. You have to grab the handle and pull it towards you, the driver. Just pushing in the button on the end only makes the windshield wipers swipe across once to remove any debris on the windshield. This can be confusing for many.

How do i replace wind sheild washer spray nozzles ?

make sure you have washer fluid come out of the pump when on,if so maybe clogged hose to nozzle or nozzle clogged up which you can clean chemical residues with a sharp needle then moderately blow air(with air hose) from nozzle towards end of hose that connects to pump. Hope this helps. Oh,make sure not to wiggle the nozzle because then it would change direction of spray.

Windshield wipers don't work

If the washer fluid is not pumping and they're new, something isn't connected right. They're obviously not getting power. Either that or the pumps didn't work in the first place.

I need to know where to put the fluid for the rear wipers.

The same tank that holds the front wiper washer fluid holds the rear. If your rear washer is not working, it could be one of 2 things.....

1- your washer fluid tank is low. Most car manufacturers design the tank so the rear washers stop getting fluid first to remind you to fill the tank.

2- there is a clog in your rear washer system or the pump is not working. Your problem sounds like your pump is working, so first top off your washer fluid tank, then if after about 30 seconds of trying (it takes a while to get back there), try to first unplug the rear washer by scrubbing with a toothbrush and hot water. Next, follow the hose to see if it is pinched somewhere or broken.

2000 nissan xterra...windshield washer fluid pump motor has failed. How do I get to and replace the motor?

On the drivers side of the vehicle just behind the front bumper is the washer fluid reservoir. The washer pumps (2 - one for the back and one for the front) are located ont the face of the reservoir.

1) Drain the resevoir. (You can reuse this fluid, so put it in a clean container)
2) Disconnect the wiring harness for the problem pump.
3) Remove the sprayer line.
4) Remove the pump. It is held in by being snapped into a channel on the resevoir and by the rubber grommet. This may take some elbow grease.
5) Remove the old grommet.(If your new pump came with a new grommet)

Installation is reverse. Usually new pumps come with new grommets. If not, it is ok to reuse the old one.
