Hyundai Coupe - Windscreen Washers

Hi the water comming out of my washers have stopped, I can hear the
motor when I pull the stick which sounds fine, the holes dont seem
blocked, and water seems to be moving through when I disconnect pipes
from bonnet, does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks Karen

 

Your nozzles are likely clogged. Try removing the hose and blowing
backward through them with compressed air if you have that at your
disposal.

 

is it cold and wet there?
try squirting a little rubbing alchohol on the ends or take a very fine
needle and try probing each holeon the washer jets dont wiggle to hard or
youll knock the jets out of aim.. and see if that works, could be ice, or
debris...
do you see any noticable kinks in the hoses (if u cans ee them) under the
hood?
if its cold there, add some alchohol to the washer fluid container... if you
have something in there other than washer fluid and its been cold out...

Karen, when this happened in my Ford, the problem was caused by
cheap windshield washer fluid. A jelly would settle out of this
stuff and plug the system. The plugging was in the vicinity of
the pump. Here's how I solved it:

I flushed the washer system out a few times with hot water. This
was pretty simple -- I just loaded up the washer tank with hot
water and ran it through with the stick control. I shielded the
windshield with something to keep the ratty stuff off. Don't
squirt hot water onto the windshield if it is cold!

The problem returned a couple of times, so I had to repeat the
drill again during a trip. After three rounds of this, the
problem vanished permanently. So did the gallon bottle of cheap
pre-mixed washer fluid. I've used the expensive stuff since then,
or just dumped some rubbing alcohol into water. Water that's
loaded with minerals, of course, may clog nozzles due to
sediment.

See if the above drill works.

Just to help you all out, in the washer bottle their is two motors to drive
front and rear washers, fitted to the intake of each motor is a wire filter
which gets blocked, take off the wheel arch cover and pull the motors out,
give the wire filter a wash and all should be good.
