I am having a problem with my window washer. I press the button and pull the paddle but nothing comes out the front or back. The rear stopped working 3 days ago just when it started getting cold. Now the front wont work either. I have used screen wash as it does help the water to stop freezing- as I thought the water had frozen- but now I get nothing. I have tried hot water in the bottle to flush through and unblock any frozen bits. Still nothing.
I can hear the motor/pump working when I press the button and pull the paddle.

Is there anything I can do myself to get this working?

Same here mate, It's just the weather the jets themselves would of frozen over!

Well thats what I thought but like I say I have flushed it all through with piping hot water- so that would melt the frozen bits. It's the same during the day when it warms up. I get nothing. I've even poured hot water over the rubber nossles where the jets fire out the water to heat them up. Still nothing.

hmmmmm? Have you checked for leaks? Sounds daft, but could be no fluid in the tank?

No leaks- I do get a small dip or two coming out of the nossle after holding the paddle down for a while but thats it.

hmmmm, well thats about all my technical know how lol I'm sure someone will be able to help you they know more than I do I just drive it lol

i always find mine are deforster if i go for a drive then leave the car for about half an hour, after youve done that pop the bonnet and have a look

have a glamourous assistant hold down the spray button, if one of the hoses has disconnected, nothing will come from the other one due to loss of pressure.

Any idea the easiest way to take the jets off to see if they're blocked? Or anything I can fulsh through the system to unblock it- Cilit Bang!? lol

I would still say its the bad weather, all 3 of our cars are suffering the same.
I pulled the cap off the top of the washer bottle on the escort and the cap came off but the pipe to say how much water was in was frozen solid into the water.

Mine has been freezing but works after about 5-10 mins of driving

What pipe?! I dont think i have one of those

The water is not frozen in mine at all- in fact where I was able to empty the tank before the front washer stopped I re-filled with hot water to flush all frozen bits out. It is definately not a freezing problem. I wanna know what the best way to un-clogg the jets is?

Oh so not the fez then

I'll try that tonight when I get home.
Nice one.

Any other ideas would be nice to know just in case this doesn't work.
