The washer fluid won't dispense even though I hear the motor working.

It's freezing cold outside, so I just spent better than 45 minutes with the blow dryer on the lines. No luck.

What can I do?

Hi:
If you remove the supply line from the pump does it spray from there?

Hi Joe,

I took the supply line apart; no it is still not flowing. I still can hear the motor working.

Just in case it was frozen, I left it in heated garage overnight. This morning it was still not working.

I drained the reservoir and put hot water in, drained and refilled with warm washer fluid.

Don't know what else to do.

Yeah! It worked! Just after I put the warm washer fluid in, it started to work. No leaks!

So glad I didn't have to start tearing things apart.

Thanks anyway.
