Windshield Squirters not working... any ideas

Back one still works, but the fronts are not doing a thing. Is there a fuse? Could just the pump have somehow gotten frozen?

Do you hear anything when you try to activate the washer?

Are you sure there's fluid in the reservoir?

Is the fluid frozen?

Have you checked the hoses and connections for a break?

Umm... that'd be what I meant by, "Are you sure there's fluid in the reservoir?"

Could be frozen like Dcarbb said, check under the vehicle if you see and type of washer fluid. I think theres a fuse for it, you can check under the drivers side dash, I dont know if it could be under the hood, it would be good to check there to. Maybe your washer tips are clogged? use a sewing nail and poke the hole where the waters comes out(that didnt sound right

). Goodluck

Checked the fluid yesterday. Isn't frozen, but just in case I added some of the hardcore purple stuff for -35 degrees. I'll check the fuses today and get back to you guys.

This sucks though, that's for sure.

Okay... this is weird. They started working again. Is it possible for hte nozzles to get frozen, but not the fluid?

Yes; more likely the fluid in the lines.

Weird. The fluid is supposedly good down to -35... yet it wasn't remotely that cold when they wouldn't work.

Hmmmmm....

It's the sound of pressing a button or flipping a switch and hearing nothing.
