[s-cars] Windshield Washers not spraying? (Yes there is fluid)

[Bob Frizzell]

Pull the hoses off at the spayer head and see if you have flow there, then
trace back to the problem.  When removing the hoses heat the ends with a
hair dryer (there is a heater for this sort of thing but a hair dryer will
work).  Once the hoses are back on a little glue such a automotive goop on
on the outer edge might help keep it in place.
