Mitsubishi Repair: 95 Eclipse windshield washer fluid sprayer, windshield washer fluid, little holes


Question
I believe the tubes that connect the windshield washer fluid resevoir to the external sprayers is plugged.  It started with just one sprayer not working now neither of them work.  I can hear the motor working when activating the sprayer, but nothing comes out.  Is this something I can easily fix myself?  If not any idea how much it would cost to fix it?  Thanks for your time.

Answer
Hi Candie,

I would bet that it's not the tubes but rather the little holes of the sprayers. You may want to take a pin or a needle and see if you can poke any debris (usually hard water deposits or washer fluid 'gunk') from the holes. If that doesn't work you should be able to find the tubing at a parts or hardware store.

The hole is generally through a little ball that sits in a socket. If you poke the holes and find that your spray isn't directed at the locations on the windshield that you'd like, take your pin and adjust the ball via the hole to where you'd like the spray to go.

Good Luck!
