Hi all,
I have a '90 Accord LX. Today when I cut on the wipers, pulled the
lever back, no wiper fluid, yet the wiper fluid container under the
hood is half full. Any ideas what the problem is, and how much it
costs in parts/labor?

THanks,
Josh

Is the pump motor running? Is there a hose disconnected or broken? Lift the
hood and look at it. You may surprise yourself and figure it out.

Does your "intermittent" wiper setting work? If not, it could be a bad
fuse. Both functions share the same fuse (which is under the hood). This
happened to my '93 Accord, which should have the same fuse arrangement as
your '90.

Another thing to check, do you hear the sound of the washer pump when you
try to spray?

Sometimes, the outlets for the water stream become clogged with hard
water deposits. Try using a straight pin to see if yours are clogged.

I had the same problem with my Accord 93. I opened the hood and
realized that there is damage on the pipe. All the pressure gets lost
in the pipe leaks. I replaced it with a new pipe and everything works
now.
