I live in Cnaada and i own a 1993 Nissan Sentra Classic. After visitng the mechanic for a brake issues I've discovered when trying to pullback on the lever for wiper washer fluid, there is no fluid being sprayed onto my windshield. The wipers go into motion but no fluid is sprayed.
Normally when their is no fluid left in the reservoir their still is an audible tone of the pump trying to spray something but in this case there isnt any audible sound whatsoever. I checked the 20A fuse for the labeled Wiper Washer and it appears to be fine.
Im now thinking the mechanic detached something for the wiper fluid pump. I could go back into the mechanics but was hoping for some DIY quick fix. The reservoir is full with fluid and the spray nozzles have been cleaned out. My main car battery seems fine. Im strongly thinking the prob is with the pump. Can someone direct me on how to inspect this area to make sure everything is attached correctly.
Tx

the pump is probably on the bottom of the washer bottle, look and see if the wires are hooked to it and if they are your looking at a new washer motor.

Can you tell if the washer pump is running? Have a friend start the cycle and hod your hand on the pump and see if you can feel it run.
Check the lines for kinks, and then pull one of the hoses off from where it is connected to the nozzle and start the cycle again and see if you get anything out.
If all of the above is good, then maybe the pump is air locked and needs to be primed. Other than that I have no idea.
Good luck

Go to a store and buy a 'test light'. Disconnect the wires going to the pump and see if there's power going into the pump. If so, the pump is bad. The pump should be in the base of the reservoir.

Open the hood and locate the windshield-washing gadget fluid reservoir. seek for a huge, clean plastic field which may be categorised with words or an emblem on the cap showing 2 spurts of water. 2. examine the fluid point. you may fill this reservoir all the thank you to the excellent. 3. upload windshield-washing gadget fluid utilising a funnel.

Pop the hood and watch while someone hits the sprayers. I bet the hose that goes from the pump up to the sprayers is disconnected. It usually just slides on and off.

use a test light. make sure pissers aren't clogged and hoses are in place.
