2006 washer not spraying at front

Featured Replies

My washer works at the back and the motor works at the front but does not push the water through enough to spray. I have blown it through and I'm at the point where I have the  washer bottle out and emptied and the pump ready to replace if necessary.  Is there anything else I can do that I haven't thought about before I replace it please? Is it correct that it's age means it's lost it's umphf working the front!? I'd send a video so you could hear the motor working front and back but the forum says it's too big!



If your pump is working fine then it'll be something to do with the pipes, l have a 96 escort n they still worked fine last time l used them. If the motor isn't sounding strong then it's probably on its way out n time to replace it 👍

If you disconnect the pipe from the front jets does the water squirt through satisfactorily ??

If so, then your pump is fine and your jet/s are blocked.

If not, and the motor sounds fine, then check for blockages in either the motor or the washer bottle itself as some have a plastic gauze filter in the bottom of the bottle which can easily become blocked - usually by cheap washer fluid.
