Windshield washer fluid problem
The windshield washer fluid in my 1998 Civic will not work. I push the lever
to dispense the fluid but nothing happens, just like the bottle is dry. Even after I filled it up, same thing... What usually causes this? It can't be too complicated... Thanks, |

Try using a needle to clean out the nozzles.

If not, fuse / connector problem. See Owner's Manual. 2 Remove a hose (ahead of nozzle) and see if water squirts out. 3 If not, suck on hose to be sure one-way valve isn't dried out (my Odyssey had that problem) 4 You might have to apply vacuum (suck) for a minute or two if valve is dry. Once it gets wet, it's cured. 'Curly' |

Mine were bitten by a squirrel and they were leaking so no water reached the nozzles. I replaced the nozzles and everything went back to normal. --Viktor |
