@@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 9 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

How and when does a pump go bad? can it be just a Fuse problem?

@BudgetMechanicHawaii 4 ай бұрын

@@Muxik4k yes it’s usually a fuse that blows when the pump gets stressed out. But if it’s allowed to suck air or dirty fluid long enough it will die

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!

@dwanehoughtaling419 3 ай бұрын

Thanks for the great video. I used your approach and determined the pump was not working. From there I found the pumps fuse was blown. Instead of shelling out a lot of money to a dealer/repair shop, I was able to fix my problem for about $5. Thank you.

@@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?

@BudgetMechanicHawaii 6 ай бұрын

@@jamesp2293 rear washer probably has its own pump. If you hear the pump running, but it’s dripping down, it could mean there’s a disconnected hose somewhere and it’s not coming out the nozzle.
