Re: heated washer nozzles

["Romeo Shayne Pavlic'" <bcpi@arias.net>]

I have fixed these two ways.  First, is get an air compressor and an air
nozel and blow air back wards through the system.  Just remember to have the
pickup tube from the fluid storage tank out so the crap does not go into the
tank.  Other thing to check is the one way valves if your car has it.  My
200 does not have a washer system but my V8 does and it has had the one way
valves go bad.  Simply take them apart and pull the guts out of them.  Quick
and cheep fix.  BTW, keep in mind you can't blow air backwards if you have
and leave the one way valves connected.


HTH, Shayne.
