Ford Repair: Windshield washer problem, windshield washer fluid, nozzles


Question
On my 2001 Expedition, my windshield washer fluid unit appears to be stopped up.  When I try to use the washer, the motor is running, but no fluid will come out. Can you help please.

Answer
Three things to check: you may have to remove the little motor and clean the screen, it plugs up with something from the cleaner; Or the nozzles may be plugged, which will require compressed air to blow them out; or a hose may have come off, if you see fluid running out of the right front fender that indicates a leak. These are the most common problems.
