Re: wiper fluid not used

The pump may be making sound, but not functioning. I don't use mine very often, so occasionally I have to suck the wiper fluid to the pump. Even then it takes the pump awhile to kick in. Try not to run the pump at length without fluid.

Re: wiper fluid not used

I used to do what James C did, but I gave up doing it. My engine compartment gets so hot it drys the fluid our in the pump & lines. Since I am in Florida it makes no difference as long as the wipers work.
