2000 Sonata Wiper water won't squirt
Hi All,
My wipers work fine but no water will squirt when the button is pressed. Is there a pump somewhere in the line? Or is there a fuse somewhere just for the squirter motor? There is some water in the resevoir so it isn't dry. Thanks for the help Ed |

The washer was activated by pulling on the stalk. Regards, Edd |

I made the same mistake and also posted here about it! I was all ready to get a new washer fluid pump! The button is just for a single wipe of the blades. To get the washer fluid you need to pull on the arm. -- Joey Goldstein http://www.joeygoldstein.com joegold AT sympatico DOT ca |

Thanks everyone. That was it. I needed to pull the handle not push the
button. My wife's Toyota is a push button, so I assumed it was the same. >RTFM I would have read the manual, but I bought the car used recently, and it did not have a manual. I ordered one from the dealer, but it isn't here yet. Thanks |

Do you fill them up in different spots? My arm flows fluid, while the mister isn't working at all, or am I doing it wrong? I turn the wipers on, hit the mist button on the end of the stalk, and nothing. I pull back on the arm with the wipers on and plenty of fluid comes out. 2004 V-6 Sonata |

I pull > back on the arm with the wipers on and plenty of fluid comes out. > > 2004 V-6 Sonata It is working as designed. Pulling on the stalk activates the pump for the washer fluid. There is only one pump and fluid reservoir. Pressing on the button on the end of the stalk will activate the wipers for one wipe. Try it when the wipers are off. Useful when there is a mist on the windscreen but not enough moisture is falling to necessitate using the wipers. The owners manual explains all of this. I find it useful to read through it at least once to see what features the car might have and how to operate them. Edd |
