How do I get to the hoses for the windshield washer

Post by Vodim »

I just replaced my washer pump for the windshield but only very little water is coming through. Basically just some bubbles visible on the nozzles. I want to check the hoses for blockage but how do I get to them? Do I need to remove the dashboard?

checking the hoses you can use an airline, works both ways so can also clear the lines, and you can work from either end - wear eye protection

You can remove the water jets then the hoses. Dont let the hose fall.
Probably gunk.
