Is there a way to adjust the windshield washer sprayers to point them up higher on the windshield. I looked today and didn't really see any way to point them up more.? Mine probably hit the bottom 1/3 of the windshield and do not do that great of a job. Maybe I'm missing something?
View 3 Replies2012 Elantra GLS ... The windshield washer spray pattern is too low. The nozzles on the Elantra appear to be entirely plastic unlike the conventional ball which I can poke a needle in to adjust it. I ran the hand under the cowl cover and could not feel any kind of adjustment mechanism. How to adjust the nozzles to aim higher.
View 27 RepliesTo me it sounds like a windshield washer sprayer trying to squirt w/o any fluid or a print head moving and hitting the end and try for a brief second to keep moving. I notice it when I first turn on the car and it is about every 8 ish seconds. Tried to capture it but it is too faint to pick up on cam. 2011 Gti, 39k
View 8 RepliesI have a 2004 Super Duty with a 6.0 diesel. Recently the windshield washer seems to have lost some of it's spray power. It still sprays, just not very hard. I know it's not frozen, as it started this before it got cold.
View 3 RepliesI just picked up a 2014.5 Camry (my 1st Toyota) and how full the windshield washer reservoir should be at max level. Now hear me out before you fall off your chair from hysterical laughter, if I fill up the reservoir up to the lid like every other car I have owned, after a short drive it will go down and be below the filler neck, clear down under the fender even though I haven't sprayed the washer fluid.
I haven't seen any fluid dripping but I believe I have a leak. Sounds pretty cut and dry but I'm asking just incase Toyota has a weird fill level on the washer reservoir.
So I have a 2012 Accent, recently as the temperature dropped my windshield fluid wasn't spraying well and would just squirt (weak spray). Realized that I had summer fluid, so I emptied out the fluid and added new winter fluid the windshield pump would work fine when my car is warmed up and in the garage and even after I've left it out in the cold for a few while. Once I took the car out and started driving it started to squirt again rather than spraying. Is this an issue with the pump? or is there another problem?
View 1 RepliesMy rear windshield washer has stopped working, does the MkVI have a separate pump for the front and rear washer fluid sprayers? My front sprayer is still working, fluid is full, and I don't see any VCDS codes relating to the rear windshield washer motor. Since I am approaching a wet season, it would be best if the rear washer worked. I am still under warranty but just wanted to know if there are two sprayer pumps on our cars.
FWIW, I have not had a problem with the rear washer dripping and no TSB have been performed on the rear washer.
The windshield washer does not work. What could the problem be? I thought I would check the fuse. What fuse is for the washer and were ls it loc? is it under the hood ? or could it be the pump and how would i check it ?
View 7 RepliesI recently purchased a 2009 Camry XLE with 14,000 miles on it. So far so good other than the windshield/dash noise rattle when it is cold which I have searched on found a fix. However the other challenge I am having is the windshield washer fluid is leaking. It is a toyota certified car (warranty for 12 mos/ 12,000 miles) so I figured the 160 point inspection was completed expecting they would have topped off all fluids. I filled the washer fluid to where I could see it in the neck of the container. I walked back into my garage to put away the washer fluid, while walking back towards the car I could see something was leaking from under the car. It was leaking from a hole of the plastic directly under the car that covers everything up so you are unable to look up into the engine compartment. What may be causing this leak? I would suspect about 10 to 14 oz leaked.
View 6 RepliesI have an 09 Camry SE. My right windshield spray nozzle is not spraying, it's just flowing out. I ran a small wire down it and nothing changed. I called 2 dealers and looked up the part and there are 5 different angles listed the dealers said I had to remove it so they could match the angle for the pitch of the windshield. Seems ridiculous that they would not know,but the parts breakdown lists all 5.

View 2 RepliesHow to remove the cover/sound dampener under the hood of my car to get at the splitter valve.
I know one side of it is plugged up. My left sprayer works fine but the right one doesn't work at all. I pulled the hose off the right sprayer and tried using the sprayers and hardly any fluid came out of the right side hose so I know the problem is in the splitter valve. The darn thing only costs about $3.50 and I don't want to go to the dealership and pay $200 to replace it.
My problem is, I can't figure out how to detach/remove the plastic discs that are holding the cover in place under the hood. I've tried using a pair of screwdrivers, slipjaw pliers and just my plain old fingers, but they don't screw out and they don't seem to want to pop out either and I sure don't want to break any of them.
How to get the cover off, do I need to get a different tool to pop the discs loose?
Why my windshield sprayer stopped working? When I pull the handle to engage, I do not even hear the motor engage - this no spray either. Could it be a fuse?
View 3 RepliesThe rear windshield sprayer is down to a sad and pathetic trickle, making it impossible to clean the glass while underway. This is especially troublesome during the winter months.
View 2 RepliesWeird issue on my MK4 GTI. So it started out just as the rear windshield sprayer would work intermittently. Then the same happened to the front one. Then sometimes the rear windshield wiper would just come on by itself when hitting bumps on the highway. Now sometimes the front windshield wipers won't work, the rear doesn't work at all, and neither sprayers work.
So, where's best to start? I figured maybe the toggle switch is worn out. I haven't looked to see how hard it is to get out/test. I assume there's some linkage or wires I can get to once I remove the trim under the steering wheel to do a simple continuity test and see if the switch is working. Or would relays cause this? I wouldn't think that many relays could fail this quickly while running at normal voltages...
I'm working on a 2003 that the front wiper and sprayer quit working on. The rear wiper and sprayer still work fine. We replaced the multifunction switch and no change. I would like to test the motor before we keep throwing parts at it.
View 5 Replies6.7L ... Just traded in my F250 on a 2011 F350 Lariat. Love it. Period. Except that my windshield wiper sprayers will not work. I don't hear anything when I hit the button. No click or motor running. I can't figure out what fuse it is because I don't have an owners manual.
View 14 Replies-10'C this mornin and my driver side windshield sprayer is frozen solid. After 10 mins I can see the snow and ice melt around it but still won't spray. This is typical of cars with too much space between engine and hood.
Gonna have to get out the extension and hairdryer tonight. Maybe find some kind of portable mini dryer that works off my 12v to 120v converter as a long term solution.
My headlights seem to be off. The beams are spread too far apart, leaving a dark spot right in the middle. It is a 2016 and I just noticed it tonight. I have been trying to find the horizontal adjustment. Is this it? I have tried to turn it but did not notice any difference. Which way am I suppose to turn the left and right one to have the beams move closer to each other?
View 7 RepliesYesterday I took test drive of Toyota Camry SE 2012 (New).It was really good, except: When I came out of the car, I felt some change in vision and a bit of headache. The feeling was something similar to when you wear glasses which has significant number for a minute and then you take them off.I figured out this was because of the windshield having some distortions. So, are all new Camrys like this only or there was something wrong with that particular windshield?
View 8 RepliesI been having an issue with my windshield from quite sometime now. Its always dirty, it always has smudges on it and no matter how many times I try to clean it or wipe it down, it gets all those smudges again withing minutes. If I am driving and the sun hits it, it makes it even harder for me to see. Its really becoming a safety concern now. I am not sure if its something wrong with the vents up front or what. It happens way to much. Not only is it hard to see with all the smudges on the window, but the dashboard reflects on the windshield as well when the sun hits it causing me to see even less. It's at the point where it's becoming so annoying that I seriously thing there's something wrong with the car. Anything I can try to do cuz I find it weird that my window gets so many smudges non stop its crazy.
