How to fix a car sprinkler that doesn't spray water

Check if there is windshield washer fluid

The windshield washer fluid filling port is a blue cap with a wiper spray logo on it. If you are not familiar with it, you will add it to the engine.

Is the wiper spray function turned on?

The windshield wiper spray switch of a normal vehicle is located on the lever on the right side of the steering wheel. Push it in front of you to turn it on. For a hatchback, push it in front of you to spray water for the front wiper, and push it outward to spray water for the rear wiper. For a commercial vehicle, it is the knob on the right lever.

There is a problem with the wiper spray motor

Turn on the wiper spray function. If there is a buzzing sound at the windshield washer fluid filling port, it proves that the motor is not damaged.

If there is no buzzing sound, you need to check the fuse. Normally, the fuse of the wiper water spray motor is located on the main driver's side or below. It is not ruled out that the water spray motor of some models is inside the hood, but it is rare.

Nozzle clogged

If there are no problems with the above tests, then the wiper nozzle is blocked due to long-term filling of tap water or other water containing impurities.

You can buy a bottle of carburetor cleaner and spray it into the water spray nozzle. Stop for a while, and then try spraying again.

If this still doesn't work, you will need to remove the washer nozzle, but this is a little difficult. It's best to search on Taobao for the same wiper washer nozzle as yours and see where the clip on the washer nozzle is to avoid prying it off. After removing it, find an air pump to blow it down, and it will be unobstructed.

Why does the car sprinkler not produce water?

1. Insufficient windshield washer fluid. Some cars may have an indicator light on the instrument panel when the windshield washer fluid is insufficient, reminding you that you need to add windshield washer fluid.

2. If you choose the wrong windshield washer fluid, it will freeze in cold weather and crack the pipes. It is recommended to use antifreeze windshield washer fluid in cold weather. Choose windshield washer fluid of a certain degree according to the local temperature. There are windshield wiper fluids below 0℃, -10℃, -25℃, and -40℃ on the market. Choose according to your needs.

3. The wiper head or motor may be faulty and need to be replaced or cleaned.
