Clogged Windshield Washer Line?
Hey guys, this question isn't about my SS but I figured since there is such a wealth of general knowledge in here I would ask it anyway, I have a 02 Grand Prix GT as my DD, I filled up the windshield washer fluid the other day and go to spray and nothing comes out.....it does sit under some trees at work, is there a chance the line(s) became clogged or could it be a pump issue? If so any threads anywhere on replacing a pump? The GP has 132k on it.
Thanks!
Jeff

Diconnect the tubing from the nozzles, and see if you get washer fluid there at the end of the tubing before you go to replace the pump. Over time, it's not unusual for them to have crud buildup in them. If you have fluid there, but nothing out the nozzle, take a small piece of wire and stick it down the nozzle to clear it out.

On my T/A I was loosing fluid but no fluid came out of the window squirters. I thought it was clogged too. I followed the line and it came loose and was squirting in the engine bay (but nothing on the ground?). Plugged it back in and all is fine now.
