Yeh, this just started
is there a fuse i might be missing? something that might have come un-attached?
The wiper makes its sweeps when you hit the wash button, but just doesnt produce, if you know what I mean

does the front? if the reservoir is low, then the back stops "producing" first. |

when it happened to me it was a bad check valve. Pull the washer reservoir and check the lines, the check valve lets water flow one way but not back the other way. Take it off and try to blow through it both ways if you can then it is broken, go to an auto parts store or an aquarium place and bu another one for 2 dollars (it doesn't have to look anything like the original either) and put it in there. |

Also Josh, take off the rear nozzle and clean it out; it might just be plugged. And remember, those check valves have to anti-siphon; don't pick up some plastic vacuum tube instead.

shouldn't have to worry about the anti-siphon feature for the rear one though, it won't siphon because the reservoir is lower than the rear sprayer. |

You might think not, but I had the same problem and mine would not work without the anti-siphon unit. |

You had something else going on then, I replaced mine with a cheap ass one (trust me there were no bells and whistles here and they even warned me that it didn't have the anti-siphon deal -it cost 97 cents at the aquarium place). It has worked fine for almost a year, I use it quite a bit too. Not to sound condescending but maybe you put it in back-wards (I actually had a brain-fart and did that by accident when I replaced mine, took me a few minutes to figure that one out  )
Not having an anti-siphon provision shouldn't prevent it from working as a check valve it should just keep it from siphoning, siphons don't work with the terminating end higher than the beginning though so unless you flip your truck I see no need to worry (plus if this happens you sure as hell better be worrying about more than your washer reservoir draining out ) -Just trying to save Joshua some money if this is indeed the problem. |
