Window washer
It never fails as soon as it starts to rain or get a little wet out.
My window washers fail.
I get no fluid when pushing the washer button.
I've had the car in twice and they say they fix it but it alway stops working again. Any clues?
I have checked the tips they are clean!
Thx,
Tim

There are several things to check. First, obviously make sure you have washer fluid in the tank. Second, make sure you're pushing the wiper stalk in all the way. This may sound ridiculous, but a lot of people just push it in to the first detent, which activates the wiper, but not the washer. Imagine the look on thier faces when you show them that they just had to press a little harder on the stalk. Third, check under the hood where the washer hose comes up to meet the nozzles. A lot of times the hose pops off in this area, causing no washer fluid from the nozzles, but plenty of leakage onto the ground.

Thanks Dave,
I will double check, all three of your points.
I'm pretty sure I pushed the stalk in all they way, I did it about thirty times.
As for the washer fluid, it is full sense I never get a chance to use it up! LOL
Thanks for your help,
