Default windshield washer fluid

i cant get anything to spray out. It is full of fluid cause i went to top it off and it was already full. I never really used it since I bought it in august....what should I check for?

Do you wax the car? One time, wax got in the nozzles and dried up and I couldn't get anything to come out. Cleaned it out with a needle.

If not, maybe something came unplugged

Go under the hood liner and take the line loose and see if it sprays. Be careful the hoses and joints get brittle and will break. Is the pump working.

You should be able to pull the lines from the nozzles under the hood to see if the fluid flows. If it does, then the nozzles are clogged. If not, then work your way back. Also, you should be able to hear the pump running when you try to spray. If not, check the fuse.

Hey did you fix it. My dad stopped by the house he has a 05 f150. He said only one of his nozzels worked. After a quick look under the windsheild cowling there is a y fitting that takes thre line from one into two and it was dry rotted and cracked. It was squirting washer fluid down into the engine area. Just thought it might be helpful. We were able to piece something together and replaced the cowl and all fixed.
