Ok, so I live in NE Ohio and the last few days have been in the low to mid 20's for highs. We have had two major snow storms in the last week or so that dumped about 14-16 inches of snow in the area. This past weekend, I ran out of washer fluid. It had been working fine up until that point. The "Low Washer Fluid" message came up, I ignored it, ran out of fluid as expected. Yesterday, I picked up a bottle of the -20 degree washer fluid from the gas station, dumped it in the (correct) reservoir, twisted the washer switch on the turn signal stalk, I can hear the pump pumping, but no squirts from the wipers. Weird... I thought maybe it was some ice in the line or something, so I hopped on the highway and drove home (about a 30 minute drive at 70 MPH). Got home hoping that the -20 fluid defrosted the possible ice blockage, still no action. Hopped in the truck this morning, still nothing. I can hear the pump going, but just no fluid. I am going to take a look at it whenever I get a chance with work and holidays here, no real free time. I'm just curious, has anyone come across this issue before? If so, what was the fix?? I'm thinking about dumping a bottle of rubbing (Isopropyl) alcohol in there to see if that helps.
Any suggestions??
