Windscreen washer - RESOLVED
Hi All,
My car is a 2017 XJ 5.0 S/C. Problem is the windshield washer does not squirt water out of the jets on the wiper arms. It squirts great for the headlamp washer part, so the pump operates. Here's what I've done to troubleshoot: 1) Blown out all of the rubber lines supplying the jets. 2) Cleaned the jets themselves. I can get a good flow of air through the lines and washer jets. So, next, I disconnected the main rubber line which supplies both washer jets under the plastic cowling. I then attached a longer length of rubber line so I could operate the pump and see if fluid was even coming out of the pump and its not. Weird, it flows out of the headlamp washers, but nothing going to the windscreen washers. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bill

I cannot see an image on your post. Do you have a link I could open in a separate window? Also, is the reservoir accessed via the passenger wheel well?
Thanks, Bill

Good to hear you fixed it.
Please send me a PM with details of the hardware/software combination you are using for forum access. The image appears both in my original post and in your QUOTE of it here!
