Windshield wiper not spraying front nor back

[FstFrd00]

I have a problem which is more inconvenience than problem.
My windshield wiper fluid won't spray. I hear the pump kicking on, everything seems to be connected, reservoir is full and doesn't seem to be leaking. IDK clogged line?

Could be clogged line, could be bad pump. Either way sounds like you are tearing the passenger fender liner out to troubleshoot

This happens to me on occasion. The first time I noticed it we had gone to higher altitude so I thought maybe it had something to do with the air pressure in the line or something that hadn't equaled out with the actual air pressure outside. But it's happened a few times at home. Then starts working on its own eventually.

Did you have your windshield replaced recently? There is a connection under the plastic trim between the window and the hood. It maybe worth checking if that has come apart.

I just had the same issue. Dealership said it was a wire short and fixed it under warranty

No, I am in the minority with the original windshield from 2021

I was hoping I didn't have to go to the dealer. Glad I got an extended warranty (I usually never do).

Even if it’s a bad pump that’s a $25 part…

Mine does this occasionally (actually did it on the way home tonight). Sometimes I have to hold it for 3-4 seconds before the fluid actually sprays, or cycle it on/off a few times. As you said more of an inconvenience than a major issue. But if it stops working all together that would be a problem. For now letting it be.

Mine would do this. Figured it was a vacuum somewhere in the line. I drilled a very small hole into the bottle neck just beneath the filler cap. This solved the issue entirely. Squirts immediately every time now.

This literally just happened to me with our 21. Pump runs, no juice. Ordered new and did it myself. Original pump wasn’t bad, it was clogged.

This has happened to us once. Not sure what it was but it started working again later that day.
