Window washer Problem

loracan1

The front window washer on my 97 Mondeo hasn't been working for last week or so, it's been a bit intermittent for a while now. Had the bonnet up and the tube was kinked near the window and disconnected near the reservoir, sorted both out but still not working. The pump itself is making the right noise and the rear washer is working perfectly. Any ideas what I can try next?

Attach the hose to the bottle, but disconnect from the jet. See what happens. If no water comes out, disconnect the hose and see if water pumps out of the bottle.

If no water pumps out of that, then disconnect the bottle, remove it from the car (usually the electrical connectors need to be 'squeezed' in a particular way to unclip), and clean it out. Chances are its blocked by slime and gunk.

If its only the jet at the bonnet that isn't working, then try cleaning it out at both ends with a sewing needle.

Is there only one washer on a mondeo?

If there are two and they have both stopped working then the fault is unlikely to be at the 'squirty' end.:D

If only one has stopped then the fault is in the nozzle or the last bit of pipe.

Sounds like dodgy piping between the bonnet split and the squirters.
