    i had to buy a new filter, mine was clogged to hell. It's a little plastic T peice that splits the one tube into two. It's located right at the top of the hood in the middle. Check it out. It could also just be a disconnected hose resulting in loss in pressure or shooting the fluid somewhere other than your windows.

      Take out the tank and wash your own windshield. Cleans up the engine bay AND doesn't leave streaks.

        did you leave the nozzle in place with nothing hooked up or did you shave them off or something?

          :roll: heh with the weather we have around here now you NEED windshield washer fluid.

          Just as mentioned, check your filter. When you tug on the lever do you hear your pump going? If not it might be shot...I have had a shot pump before. If you hear it hum and water doesn't squirt out of the nozzles, check to see if water is leaking outta some connector by looking carefully around the hood...Last but not least, its possible that your fluid has frozen if its not got additives to prevent it from freezing.
