Default Windshield Washer flow

Hello,

I do not have a "washer fluid low" message on my dash and the wipers operate, however I do not have any fluid coming out. My guess is either the motor in the wheel well has stop working or the nozzles are clogged up. I figured since the car is sitting in the garage for the next few months I'd try to fix this. Any links (video or pages) on how I should go about spending my time trying to fix this?

Thanks

I have the same issue so I’ll be watching the replays.

Here's a relevant thread covering the pump and washer nozzles:

Hey chillyp & dfbender,

Hey Guys, In order to fix your problem, you need to get down to the Water storage Bottle and make sure the little pump motors are working and that all your hoses are connected and that you still have water in the Bottle. Problem: You've got to raise the Left Front and remove the Wheel well shield, so you can see the storage Bottle...Also, some X-100's have Headlight Washers and some don't....but if you want to make sure on a 20 year old Car, you are going to have to go down there and look.... Best place for parts? The Junk Yard.....
