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.
i did that this morning i can hear the fluid gathering at the top og the lift gate then it leaks down a drian in the lift gate..... it does not make it to the hose which is connected to the wiper i disconnected the hose from the wiper and no fluid comes out but the fluid leak from a drain port on the bottom of the lift gate
In that case, the rubber or plastic hose inside the lift gate has become damaged or is not connected up properly. Take apart the lift gate panel to get at the problem. Good luck, again, on this repair.
I had a similar problem of a hose being, actually, broken on my 1997 Cadillac Deville, where the plastic piping was broken in two. I rejoined it with rubber hose material of appropriate size from an auto parts store.
ok thanks why would they design the lift gate with a drain unless they fore saw that as a problem again thanks
Sure thing. Thanks for the rating! Well the drain is for such a problem, but sometimes it is also for condensation drainage. If there is too much water in the tailgate it can cause other things to go wrong, or cause premature rust, etc.
