I have a 2004 GMC Yukon. A bell would sound when my windshield washer fluid was low, and I was attempting to clean my windows. I sent my vehicle to a dealer for another issue, and now my low washer bell does not work anymore. I thought for sure I also had an amber colored light on my dash that would stay on until I filled the reservoir. Now I only get a check washer fluid display after my fluid has run out.

Its more than likely the bulb has gone, it will if you leave it on for long periods of time, can be a led on some dashes and they can last longer than bulbs but sometimes they dont.

SOURCE: windshield wiper arm

These are a tight fit...Spray a little penetrating lubricant onto it and let it sit for about 20 minutes. You will notice there are splines that match up from the drive unit to the base of the wiper arm...sometimes these can get a little corroded and becasue of the relative surface area it makes them a real pain to get off. You may need to just pry against it gently with a flat head scredriver after you spray on the lubricant. Pray at it from all different sides of the base so that it doesn't bind up and get crooked.

Hope this helps! Good Luck!

SOURCE: gmc yukon windshield washer pump replacement

These instructions are for the regular size Yukon, but hopefullly will apply to your XL. Despite what you may read elsewhere it is virtually impossible to access the pumps and fittings without releasing and lowering the reservoir. Release the four plastic retainers at the forward side of the left front inner fender, working in the wheel well. Note that two of these fasten to the reservoir. Then remove the battery [I have read elsewhere that you should remove the negative first then wait a minute before removing the positive, something to do with air bags ??]. Remove the 6 cap screws that hold the battery pan in place, and a seventh that supports the reservoir from the top. Remove the pan. There are two more screws holding the resevoir, one near the filler cap and the other near the passenger side of the bottom - access this from below or from wheel well, pulling back the inner fender that you have freed earlier. The reservoir will now drop down so unless you have emptied it you should support it so as not to strain wires or hoses. Now you can access the wires and hose fittings to release them and then the pumps. The pumps are just a press fit into a rubber bushing that fits in to the hole in the reservoir. Be sure to get the new one properly aligned - if you look at the design you will see that a peg on the top fits in to a slot in the resevoir. Reverse the above to reassemble. Check the hoses carefully to be sure they are not cracked or damaged or you will be doing this all over later. The hoses pass through slots on the side of the reservoir that seem perfectly designed to put nicks in the side of them, especially if you have put strain on them, and this guarantees they will fail later. If you have to repair a hose you will find it easier to make a coupling from some 7/32 rubber hose than to try to replace the original .hard plastic hose. Good luck.

Adding windshield washer fluid to Buick Lacrosse 2005

When the windshield washer fluid is low, a low washer fluid light may appear on the instrument panel cluster. In addition, if your vehicle is equipped with a Driver Information Center (DIC), the LOW WASHER FLUID message will appear when the fluid level is low. When you need windshield washer fluid, be sure to read the manufactures instructions before use. If you will be operating your vehicle in an area where the temperature may fall bellow freezing, use a fluid that has sufficient protection against freezing.

Where is the fuse for the water pump for the window washer

A washer pump in a car's windshield wiping system moves washer fluid from a reservoir through hoses. The motorized pump pressurizes the fluid to allow it to be squirted from the hoses through nozzles onto the front and/or rear windshield of a car. The washer fluid helps windshield wipers get rid of rain, dirt, or other objects that can interfere with a driver's visibility. If your washer fluid is not being sent out when activated, the solution could simply be filling the washer system's reservoir with more fluid or cleaning the nozzles and hoses. In more severe cases, the washer pump may need to be replaced. Here are steps to troubleshoot a windshield-washer pump.

2004 gmc yukon rattling and pinging under hood and inside. Loud inside and sounds like it's fluid moving with the rattle. Not wet inside of the truck.

These engines don't rattle and especially ping unless they are hot. And the sound of fluid thru the heater core. Tells me you are low on coolant. The engine is not cheap to replace.

Drivers side wiper arm seems to be making poor contact with the windshield. Is there an adjustment?

All you have to do is .... slighty bend the arm inward, and you should be fine...Not too much, then it will have too much pressure on the windshield, but just enough, where, when you turn your wipers on, with the washer fluid running, it seems fine... Goodluck
