Car: 1991 Honda Accord Wagon

Problem: When I try to get the winshield wiper fluid nothing comes out.
Howeve I can hear the mother come on. The read one works well. I also
noticed that when I try to fill the wiper fluids just before it fills up it
starts leaking and starts pouring on the ground.

Can anyone tell me what is the problem and how I can remedy this.

Thanks in advance.

Dave

You could have clogged or split tubing or a nozzle clog;use a fine needle
to clear the nozzle. Pop Mechanics a few issues ago had an article about
servicing washers.They also suggested backflushing the tubing from the
nozzle end.

The fill tube is pulled loose from the reservoir, causing the leak near
the top. May have to move the cruse control unit to see how to push it
back together.
Pull the tube off the nozzle under the hood. If juice comes out there,
get a fine needle or pin and clean and re-aim the nozzles. bob
