@@BudgetMechanicHawaii Hi man, mine is not working on one side only, not spraying, just getting water out without pressure. Will have a look under the hood. Also, are you able to post something to remove the wheel arc of an ASX 2017 (or later) to disconnect the washer fluid warning on the dashboard? I just want to disconnect the sensor in the water container I don't care if I don't have warning as long as I don't see that warning in the dashboard even if my water container is full. Thanks

In my 55+ years of owning vehicles and driving I've never had a pump go bad. I've had hoses and connectors break (I keep my cars a lonnnng time) I've had nozzles get clogged or break off. Easy fixes. Keep making videos . . . Will help a lot of people.

@BudgetMechanicHawaii 10 ай бұрын

Probably because you are conscientious about keeping your fluid topped up. Motors burn out a lot when people let fluid get too low and it sucks the junk and coagulated fluid in

I fix my windshield washer by taking my vehicle to the car wash and spraying each nozzle with high pressure water. The results were an immediate success. Sure am glad that I did not have to take it to the dealer due to the hoses from the washer reservoir being under a cowling that would have to be removed. Saved me many bucks!

@@BudgetMechanicHawaii Hi, so I was wondering if I could ask for advice through these comments. I have a Fiat 500 and the problem I'm having is that the fluid doesn't come out of the REAR dispenser (because Fiat's have front and rear fluid dispenser but only a single reservoir). The front fluid comes out fine. I'm hoping its not a complicated issue. Once when I tried to run the rear fluid dispenser, obviously it didn't work but fluid dripped from under the car. Also, the reservoir seems to run dry faster than it should. I think I will have to examine the reservoir closely by removing the front bumper (hassle but I don't think there's any other way). Do you have any advice for this specific issue?
