Any ideas on what to look at when the washer isn’t pushing anything out?
I can hear the motor pumping when the washer is put on & nothing comes out.
TIA

1) washer fluid present?
2) check hoses - they are all connected and in place, not missing, disconnected, torn off.
3) check hoses are not clogged.
4) nozles not clogged?
5) of course - you can check if front and back do not work both or just one direction, which would direct you towards issue.

Washer fluid was just put in before we tried it. Once it gets out of the deep freeze here I’ll go look into it further.

Any idea how big the reservoir should be?
When we filled it only seemed like it too a cup or so.

You said you are in a deep freeze. Maybe water in the lines froze.

Ours failed, too. I looked around at the hoses and found all of them they were dry, cracked and leaking. I replaced all the washer hoses with new ones I found at O'Reilly. The branch 'tee-s" also needed to be replaced. We have had the car in Texas for all of its life.

Thought I would update the status on this issue.
The hose connected to the fitting coming from the fender had rotted off. I looked at the rest of the hoses on the underside of the hood, all of them looked to be in good shape. The vacuum line I got from O’Reillys’s was just a tad bigger in diameter so I had to cut the protecter tubing it was in and fixed to the hood.
Lost one of the holding tabs on the hood, maybe I’ll find a replacement one day.

Works like a charm now.
