Windshield washer trouble :(
The washer lever has stopped working this morning. It's the lever that if you push it once the wipers will come on, push it farther and Windshield wash will come on. Now nothing happens when i push it. Any ideas on what it may be? Thanks.

Then check to see you have fluid (i know, but it's worth looking), then check the pump itself. You can access it from the driver side front wheel opening. Remove the plastic panel in front of the wheel and it is right there.

Fuses, pump are fine. It works like 1 out of every 30 or 40 times, then for just a sec. Sucks that i can't find the trouble myself. Expensive trip to the dealer over something as small as washer fluid

It sounds like the switch. I assume the rest of the switch (turn signals and wipers) works. I might give my windshield a good Rain-X treatment till I could see my way to getting it fixed. Maybe someone here can explain how to change it!

Dirty or loose connection someplace? I see buttons on motorcycles fail due to dirty contacts quite often. Cleaning them corrects the problem. Maybe some contact cleaner would help?
