Is the jet blocked? This is a common problem. To clear it will require a very fine needle or whatever. Presume the container is full! Check that the thin hose is not folded at some point. If you can get at the back of the jet, remove the hose/tubing and see if it flows and is clear at that point. All fairly obvious stuff. :)

trace the tubing and check fluid level

I've had to replace the fitting at the base of the wiper to which the tubing attaches, because the attach point had snapped-off. If that's the case with yours, you'll have washer fluid dripping from the trunk liner panel beneath the wiper.

I've also had the hose kink on me and not let any fluid pass through.

I had the same problem with the fitting that broke off and water dripped out of the cover. I replaced it and it works fine now. :)

One other didn't work, and when I put more fluid in it, it work ok again. :rolleyes: :)
