I don’t know, But is there some sort of check valve in the system that’s not checking anymore?
You say.


It surely won’t come out as quick, the jet
holes are small. Is it the actual jets it coming out?

Quick look at it seen it coming out quickly il unclip them see whats going on. Thanks again

The washer tank on many cars is lower than the headlight washers, in which case it would need the pump to run.

but if you fill up the neck of the filler it’s above the light and would run out. We don’t actually know if the whole bottle empties yet, as neither of us know where the bottle is.

Quick look and from what I can see most models have a check valve in the washer systems.

@Nightsman32 when the water stops coming out do the wiper washers work?
Is there still water in the tank?

That is usually a non return valve to stop the fluid running back into the tank.

Yes agree.
But it is also there to keep the line full. So when pump pumps, the water is at the jet?
