No Wiper Fluid!!

[SoundsYummy]

I got into my 2001 Outback Limited this afternoon and pulled the lever to spray the windshield, but nothing came out. The wipers wipe as though something came out, but nothing is squirting. I used an air compressor to blow out the lines, they're clear. Still nothing. Also, the fuse is fine. The back one works just fine.

Has anyone else had this problem??

1st off, do you have fluid in there?

2nd, maybe one of your lines is disconnected, did you see any wiper fluid on the ground under the car?

3rd, can you hear the pump? Maybe a wire is disconnected

4th (and this is more of an annoyance story on my part), on my 2005OBXT, I ran out of fluid one time and didn't get the indicator light saying I was running low (which my Mazda Protege used to have - a car worth 1/2 as much). As such, I told the dealer the bulb was burnt out on the indicator. He told me the car doesn't have the dashboard indicator.
I thought this was the dumbest thing, especially since I can see in the right light on the dash that the cutout is there for the indicator.

Yes, the fluid tank is full. Also, all of the lines are hooked up properly.

The little pumps can burn out especially if at one point or another an operator insisted on continued pumping action when no fluid was left. No plugs or hoses disconnected and fluid in the tank - pump has failed or blown a fuse.

Thanks for the response. Do you know a good way to get a replacement pump? Is it worthwhile getting one from a scrapyard?
