  • Windshield Fluid squirters, only one side working

    So I noticed the other day only my driver's side wiper fluid squirter shoots, the passenger side doesn't. Not even a drop. It's interesting because I had my windshield replaced about two months ago, but haven't really used the wipers enough to notice. I can't 100% confirm it was their fault and messed it up doing the windshield, but I'm pretty sure it hasn't been working since I got the car back.
    How does this system connect, could there be a tube they forgot to plug in? From what I read searching, it's not my fluid pump, and I don't see any visible clogging and those are usually the two main problems. The motor is fine since obviously the left side still works. I also don't see anything to indicate the little hole is clogged. I'm guessing I have to rip all the exterior trim off, but that's going to get me in a bad mood as I'm sure its tedious and annoyingly difficult without breaking plastic pieces. Any ideas ? Or any schematics on the system and the connections? I'd take it back to the windshield place but it's already been a month and I'm not sure they'd even take any responsibility at this point.

    Thanks in advance.

      Its not spraying into the engine bay is it?
      Haven't looked at an Fbody setup but on older cars there is a tube connecting the two usually in series.

        Start at the lines at the pump and work your way forward to the wipers.

          I can't see fluid in the engine bay but I did get a minor smell of it while I was driving and had turned it on several times.

            Might be emptying the fluid into your windshield cowl. Might need top ull some of the plastic off the cowl to see the lines.

              So this was a much simpler fix than I thought, the two cowl trim pieces come off seperate; one pass, one driver. I got the pass off by just taking out the press in plastic stud things.
              They left the line disconnected right underneath the connector. The bad news is every time it activated, it was spraying the fluid right onto the PCM If That goes bad they'll be getting a nice visit from me.
