Usually the windshield washer fluid is blue, but you could be using green bug cleaner or some other variety,

Hi there:
Also called windshield wiper fluid, wiper fluid, screen wash or washer fluid... is a fluid for motor vehicles that is used in cleaning the windshield with the windshield wiper while the vehicle is being driven. If you have some warning about this, check level fluid.



Chemical recipe: You can use the house hold glass cleaner, store brand, and dilute that with water to 1/2. You would get two yields for the price of one. One gallon of water to a cup of white vinegar is good too. If the smell is too much then reduce vinegar to a level you can deal with.


Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day

The seam on the windshield fluid container is broken and leaking like crazy.

The little pipes that spray the windshield washer fluid clog very easily. Use either a very thin piece of wire or a very small drill bit (a welder's "tip cleaner" works perfect!) to clean out the sprayers. Use only 100% bottled washer fluid and not tap water since the minerals will clog up the sprayers.

Make sure the rubber hoses between the pump and the sprayers did not pop off or split. If your fluid level goes down but you get no spray it is going somewhere it is not supposed to.

When you activate your windshield washers, you should be able to hear that little pump run- it makes a very distinctive sound. If you do not hear it, there is a wiring problem.

Check the washer pump. It is located under the air cleaner assembly. There will be a connector with tow terminals. there should be power on the red wire anytime the washer button is pressed. There should be ground on the black wire at all times. If there is no power than check the washer fluid fuse and relay in the underhood fuse block. If there is power than the pump is probably bad.

the pump motor likely is bad. get a used washer fluid reservoir at a pick n pull yourself or at car-part.com. page with * is lowest cost.

it's likely the tiny motor/pump located at the bottom of the tank that has failed. to confirm this have some turn on the washer fluid switch and test for voltage at the pump. there are several aftermarket pumps you can use as a replacement.
