'82 Window Sprayers Issue
From the looks of it, the hoses are hooked up and clean, the pump is hooked up, and the reservoir is full. But all I can get to happen is the wipers go when I try to kick the sprayers on. I don't know if its a fuse or something else simple but it beats me. Thanks in advance.

Re: '82 Window Sprayers Issue
kinda got the same problem but mine is a pump from an 85 transplanted onto my 87. I can here the pump working. But no spray, just to be sure which way do the hose connect? I have the hose from the bottle on the bottom fixture and the top one goes to the wipers right?

For what it's worth, the pump to my rear wiper requires priming from time to time.

My pump hums and all the hoses are intact and hooked up. So I'm gonna go with the notion that I'll have to prime mine as well.

What is the temperature by you? The fluid likes to freeze in the lines during the winter. The pump is pumping against the frozen part so nothing comes out.

Re: '82 Window Sprayers Issue
When it was down below zero, it didn't work but the other cars' did. Now its above 40 and the sprayers still don't work. I'm guessing my pump is bad or I lost the prime when the car was sitting.
