Anybody had this problem? It sounds like the pump is running but nothing come out. filled the bottle to the max level and still not a thing. Any ideas beside replacing the pump? and where can i get a new one at? Thanks for the help my friends.

I guess you could blow compressed air down the lines back into the tank.

No I haven't tried anything yet. It's been like that for like a month and never really bothered me until I went to use it today

Should be easy enough to follow it from the tank. If you can hear the pump I can't see that being the problem.

My wifes civic had a break in the Y connector in the lines I found one at pick and pull for free (they didnt even want to charge me). Probably dryed out and broke, my wife often goes months without cleaning her windows (which is why she dosent drive my F150).

My buddies 05 had this issue the other day. Checked the lines and they were fine but one of the Y splitters was busted and didn't allow the pressure. Also the nozzles were clogged pretty bad so I took the nozzles, soaked them in orange kitchen cleaner, toothpick the opens, then blew compressed air in both directions and repeated 2 more times. Now they spray like crazy.

Beats Fords $30 they wanted to buy replacement nozzles.

Yeah there is one Y splitter which is under the pass side cowl. The is also a plastic connector in the line which I had to clean out. Not sure if all trucks have the single barrel connector like his did but they all have the Y adapter which splits to pass nozzle and drivers nozzle.
