Default Windshield washer problems

My 2005 S type Jaguar windshield washers do not work. I can hear the motor running but no fluid to the windshield. All of the hose connections I can find are good and no fluid leaks on the garage floor after repeatedly trying the washer. Any ideas???

Start at the beginning.

Disconnect the washer hoses where they enter the wiper arms. See if fluid comes out the hose.

If not then remove the panel under the wipers and trace the hoses back to the pump. You could have a blockage but I doubt that's it since both washers are not working.

Dumb question? Have you got under the car and checked if the hose is hooked up to the fluid reservoir? If you remove the belly pans I would take the hose off the outlet of the reservoir as the pump is at the bottom of the tank. See if the pump will move any fluid. It could be bad and still making noise.

Actually I experienced this problem on Joyces Jag long, long ago. The blockage was actually at the "Tee" fitting located left corner under the windshield wiper cover (near the cabin filter).


Check out the "How To" guides here for the cabin filter replacement thread for details on to gain access. I blew ours out with compressed air.

I also had the same problem and it turned out to be gunge in the tank and pump.

Same thing happened to mine. Some sediment was in the tube. Ended up replacing the tube.

I have seen the debris in the tank clog the input screen too.
Good suggestions.
