issue with windshield fluid!!! help!
While getting prepared for the snow heading my way I noticed that my windshield spray doesn't "spray"... it just leaks out a small amount of fluid at a time, which doesn't even reach the windshield. I have a 2006 and I was under the impression that our cars do have a low windshield fluid detector. Just in case I topped off the fluid but noticed that the results are the same... Any ideas why the fluid would be leaking and not spraying? Could it have anything to do with the weather?
Thanks!
Thanks!

your talking about the tips? they can get clogged? it almost seems like there isn't enough power forcing the fluid out... I'm not sure if there is a motor involved in the spray but if there is could it be that?

If the weather is already cold and you don't use WW fluid that won't freeze, then ou could have a slusshy in the tubes...How does it spray once the engine warms up, and thus the engine bay, WW tank, and tubes are warm?

My guess is that there is frozen washer fluid in the system. This is especially likely if you used summer "bug wash" fluid in warmer weather that doesn't have anti-freeze properties, and which could now be diluting the winter fluid.

Would this also be the culprit for the headlight washers not working? About a week ago I used my headlight washers, and they worked just fine. Now when I try to use the windshield washers, no fluid comes out. I looked at the headlight washers and they look like they're sticking out a little, like they won't close. I tried to close them with a little pressure but I didn't want to press too hard because they might break.
