Son of a gun, my windshield washer works
 
I've owned this truck since 89 and the windshield washer wasn't set up when I got it. So I put some fluid into a bowl......nothing. Then I figured it needs to be pressurized and put the fluid into a correct jug.........trickle. Then I replaced the fluid with straight white vinegar and PRESTO.

I wanted to see if it worked before I remove it. Will run some fluid into it and call it good.

Kind of a lazy way of doing things I guess, but it worked. Comes out like it was new. I made up for a good 7 years of use though. I must have pushed the button 50 times.

Hmmm...mine doesnt spray with the button either. The wipers come on, but no fluid

Try it out. Mine isn't leaking either, as of now anyway. Just be sure to pump it clean afterwards. I ran through near a full jug of fluid rather quickly, but I recommend distilled water instead. Then pump fluid through....Something I won't do until...tic...tic....tic...tic......2018? If seasoned I'd be done 2017, due to the alarm clock lacking relevance effective 5:00 pm-ish, on Dec. 30.

BTW, I didn't dilute the vinegar because I nearly gave up on the pump. Might not be a bad idea, but again, I'd use distilled water.

I should have mentioned I blew into the intake a few times. I also plugged the outtake here and there as needed. Both seemed to help. Just recounting common sense.........So fun and so CDO.
