    The front windshield washer is not working. I can hear the pump running but no fluid comes out. The rear washer works fine.

    Any Ideas?

    Thanks in advance

    If the rear ones work and the front does not, and the fact that you can hear the front pump running, the first thing I would check is to take a pin and insert in the holes in the front spray nozzles to make sure they are not plugged.

    If this does not work I would check the plastic hoses between the washer fluid container and the front wiper spray nozzles to make sure they have not come loose.

    Thanks again
