Washer Jets Not Spraying: Causes
Washer jets that dribble or do nothing are usually a cheap fix. A Cranbourne West specialist explains.
What it usually means
No washer spray is usually an empty reservoir, blocked jets (dirt or wax from car washes), a split or disconnected hose, a failed washer pump, or a blown fuse. If you can hear the pump whirring but nothing comes out, suspect a blockage or split hose.
Pump noise but no spray = blockage/hose; total silence = pump or fuse.
What you should do
Sort it early — you can’t clear a dirty windscreen without washers, and it’s a roadworthy item. Often it’s just a blocked jet.
We check fluid, jets, hoses, the pump and fuse — usually a quick, cheap fix.
How we find & fix it
Because the same symptom can have several causes, we use dealer-level diagnostics and a methodical check to pinpoint the real cause — rather than throwing parts at it.
