This is how to replace the front washer nozzles. First, mark the location of each wiper blade on the windshield with masking tape. Next, you need to remove the windshield wiper arms from their shafts. Raise the plastic cover at the base of each wiper arm. Remove the nuts from the shafts. The arms are press fit onto the tapered shafts. You will need to rock the arms or use something to pry up on the arms to get them to release from the shafts. I usually place a block of wood down, to prevent damage to the paint, then use a "cats paw" style pry bar to remove the arms. Once the arms are removed, you need to remove the black plastic air inlet grill. The nozzles are mounted to this black plastic grill. Remove the rubber hoses from the nozzles. Using a pair of pliers, squeeze the two locking tabs which hold each nozzle in place. Push up and remove the nozzles.
During reassembly, you must be careful to properly orient the wiper arms back onto their shafts. Orient the arms so that the blades are located at the masking tape locations you made at the start.

The nozzles just snap in from the top.... you first pop the cover at the pivot point of the wiper arm to access the nut. remove said nut. remove the wiper arms (a puller is very useful to avoid damage) , then Remove the air inlet grille panel (held in with pushpins and small 1/4in or 9/32in bolts. disconnect the hoses and squeeze the two tabs that hold them in. because they snap in from the top, i have seen people crush and brake their old nozzles with needle nose pliers. pull the hose through the hole and attach it to the new nozzle...... NOT the recommended procedure, rent or buy a puller that looks like a small two jaw gear puller to save yourself a big headache (mine was only $45). good luck

SOURCE: Back in summer wiper washer stopped coming out of

pull minihose off near one nozzle and cycle the washer motor(if it's limpy pressure, blow compressed air down the hose. If possible blow compressed air (via its tube) into the nozzle from the top. Do the same for the other nzzle. You can determine from these steps if your problem is with the pump or not.

SOURCE: 2006 chevy trailblazer replace 4wheel drive selector

i've got a 2003, and i believe the parts and procedures are the same for the years. there are screws in the dash trim by the ciggarette lighter, and more on the underneath of the dash pad where the gauge cluster is. then carefully pop the dash trim out. there are retaining clips that hold it in besides the screws. they should pop out without too much effort. i'd start near the radio and be careful. there also may be two more screws near the bottom of the steering wheel that you'll have to remove the trim below it to get at.

SOURCE: 2007 chevy trailblazer. front wipers

Must be in the multi-function switch that controls the washers and wipers. These are 2 different circuits that the only thing in common is the switch. This will take some special tools to replace. Might want to take it somewhere for this operation.
Good Luck and God Bless!

SOURCE: i need to change wiper blades on 2006 trailblazer.

The 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer has the most common hook-end wiper arms. Purchase the replacement blades first and there will be additional instructions/illustrations on the replacement packages. Locate and press the tab or button where the wiper blade is inserted into the hook of the wiper arm and pull wiper blade out of hook. You may have to rotate and flex the blade to make enough clearance for the hook to pass through.

My 2006 F 150 washer hose is broke. How do I replace it?

Hi connie well theres two things we can do first if you can see where it's broken a quick fix for you would be to get a small vacuum fitting that's the same size and put it back together or follow the hose and put a new one in from the washer motor on the bottom of the washer fluid bottle and follow it to the wiper arms or the spray nozzles in the cowl by the wiper arms thats the grill looking metal at the wipers

How do I need a tool to remove the front wiper arm on a 2006 Trailblazer

There is a small cap over a 13 mm nut. Remove the cap and then the nut. The arm should come off. If not you may need to pry on it just a little. But normally come loose without it.

My 2006 Dodge Dakota windshield washer fluid does not spray. I checked the washer pump and it works. The fuses are all good. And the wipers work. When I press the windshield washer button inside the truck...

If the pump works, something should be flowing thru the hose to the spray nozzles.
And if the pump works, everything electrical is working.
How do you know the pump works ?

Rear window washer fluid wont come out but it does make it's why to the back of the car just wont come out the nozzle

I had a similar problem on a nozzle that was on my car this winter. I removed the nozzle and soaked it in hot water for a few seconds, reinstalled it, and it worked, even though it was freezing outside.

You could also soak it in -20 deg. F windshield wiper fluid, after removing the nozzle, and that should work as well.

Good luck on this repair.

Renualt megan wipers not working

To troubleshoot car windshield wiper problems, you need to thoroughly investigate problems with any of its operating parts. Here are some of the things that you need to check to determine why are your car windshield wipers not working.

Check Wiper Motor
The wiper motor is the driving force of the windshield wiper. Feel the motor and listen to a humming sound. If there is no humming, the motor is the problem. Check if the motor is working properly and see to it that its electrical connections are made properly. If you find that the motor is dead and beyond repair, get it replaced immediately.

Check For Break in Connecting Wires
The connecting wires of the motor sometimes go loose and that may cause the windshield wipers to stop working. Also check the battery plug connection which the motor has. Connecting the loose wires properly or fixing/replacing the plug might solve your problem.

Check Wiper Switch
Another wiper assembly part that can malfunction is the wiper switch itself. Check for switch malfunction and if you find that is indeed the problem, get it replaced from a mechanic.

Check for Bent Wiper Arms
Bent wiper arms can cause the operation of the wipers to be hampered. If the wiper arms are bent beyond repair, get them replaced immediately.

Check For Blown Out Car Fuse
A blown up car fuse could be the culprit that has stopped the windshield wipers from working. Check the fuse assembly under the dashboard of the car. Replacing a blown fuse might fix the problem of windshield wipers not working.

Windshield Wiper Sprayers Not Working - Things to Check

Sometimes the windshield wiper sprayer stops working which can be very annoying. The washer mechanism is a self cleaning mechanism for the windshield. Here are some of the things that you need to check in case it is not working.

Check Windshield Washer Motor
The windshield washer mechanism might have been impaired due to the malfunctioning of the wiper washer motor. Check if its working and get it replaced if it is beyond repair.

Check Windshield Washer Fluid Level
Sometimes the washer doesn't work because the washer fluid levels are not filled to requisite levels. Filling in fluid might restore normal functioning.

Check For Broken Washer Hose
The connecting washer hose that connects the reservoir to the nozzle, might be broken or worn out stalling the overall operation. Check the hose for leaks and get it replaced.

Check Washer Nozzle For Clogging
Last thing to check is the nozzle of the washer for clogging. An obstruction in the washer nozzle might be the reason for windshield wiper sprayers not working. Using a pin, clean the clogged nozzle. This might restore the sprayer to the normal working condition.

Washer wiper not working, possibly used when

the fuse is the same as for the wipers and push on washer switch and see if you can hear washer pump run,otherwise try this (unless the motor pump has been dry run too long and ruined pump assy) and can't pump any longer go to a garage that has compressed air and at the wiper nozzles first gently blow air into each nozzle, then go to reservoir and remove supply hose to wiper nozzles and blow air gently and see if there's an obstruction in the line, you can use say 30 lbs max,reason being if any hoses where you cant get to them they can blow off fittings, also take air hose and on top of reservoir blow into hole on top of reservoir to push product thru lines and help pump (same as removing hose) on reservoir, I bet its unprimed itself or blocked with dirt,try this first
