Why is my windshield washer not working on my Kia Soul?
I’m jealous! Froze back in winter. Neither washers, nor low fluid sensor were working. Had to go to a mall with warm parking lot, do the shopping to kill time while it defreezes, than drain all the liquid out by the washer and put in the winter-one.
Is there a fuse for the windshield washer?
I looked at my manual, but do not see a fuse for the windshield washer motor. I found a label for headlamp washer, but no fuse present. I doubt that was the proper one anyway.
How can I tell if my windshield washer is working?
You can usually find out by turning “on” the ignition before the start that lights up all your warning lights, which is the test prior to starting and then they all go out. Eh, you Canadians get all the good stuff… washer fluid level, heated wipers, DRLs, I think even bun warmers.

Why is fluid not coming out of my windshield washer pump?
The pump pressurizes the fluid so it can spray out, but it may work less effectively over time. If there isn’t fluid coming out when you turn on the pump, there may be a number of causes, so inspect the pump’s system to find the source.
What should I do if my windshield washer is not working?
Use a long pin or fine wire to pick out or poke through clogged dirt. Follow by rinsing the parts that are exposed with water. Have someone else turn on your car’s ignition. Ask them to activate the washer system to send out fluid. Let the washer fluid solution flush the system of remaining dirt or deposits.
Where does the wiper fluid go in a windshield washer?
It’s okay if you don’t fill the wiper fluid up to the fill line since the pump attaches to the bottom of the tank. Tip: If you live in an area with freezing temperatures, buy wiper fluid that’s made with a low freezing point.
