tomsbuick Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 My windshield wiper fluid will not spray when I push the switch. I already got a replacement pump but that may not be the problem. Any comments on how to troubleshoot? Thanks :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVES89 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 The line is probably clogged at the wiper. There should be a connector along the washer hose from the wiper blades back. When you find it take the hose off off the connector and blow towards the wiper and it should clear the line. If there is no connector just cut the line, blow the line clear and buy and install a barbed connector. It is low pressure so there is no need for hose clamps. In all my years of Reatta ownership [Roadmaster ownership as well] I have never had to replace the pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks :huh: I checked the small hoses going to the wipers forced air through them, tank has fluid, but still there is no washer spray. I want to check the fuse for the pump. Would that be the same as the wiper motor? :arrow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVES89 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I would think so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ Ron Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I downloaded 5 pages from my 88 service manual that relate to the windshield washer to include troubleshooting. Send me a PM with you e-mail and I will pass them along if you think they might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks If you already have the pump why not go ahead and install it? You might save yourself the headaches of troubleshooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
