Underdog Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Either the lines are clogged or your pump is on the way out. The Crimson Dynamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotokan1509 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Are you using washer fluid with de-icer? Could be slushing up in the lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claw Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Odd.. mine are hitting the top half of the windshield, so the bottom half remains dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astronerd Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I have a different problem. On my 1998 Outback (automatic) wagon, when I accelerate... the fluid squirts out of the rear washer sprayer. On my 1998 Outback (manual) wagon, when I accelerate... everything is normal. Is there a check valve somewhere in the line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pull the hose apart at each connection point and check for pressure. If you get to the pump and it has low pressure then replace it, it's not that expensive. If the pump has good pressure it can be a bad or clogged line, fitting, or spray nozzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemingway Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 C-Lo ... I had to change both of my nozzles on my '98 for the same reason. Tried to straighten and clean them periodically for years. The OEM nozzle assemblies are relatively cheap ... ordered them through the eParts site of my local dealership. I think I paid $40 for both. The assembly comes with the nozzle and a length of tubing ... shorter on the driver side, longer for the passenger side. They work flawlessly now. Should have replaced them years ago.

Rockauto.com has replacement pumps. The factory pump is located at the bottom of the resevoir and is held in place by a rubber grommet (in the hole of the resevoir). It is a pretty easy fix.
