Is a windshield washer reservoir covered under warranty?

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.
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.
How does a windshield washer work on a car?
How windshield washers work. Your windshield washer is a fairly simple electro-hydraulic system. The washer fluid is stored in a tank under the hood. When you activate the washer — usually by pressing or pulling the multi-function switch attached to your steering column — it activates an electric pump that sits at the bottom of that tank.
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.

How are the nozzles on a windshield washer arranged?
Other nozzle configurations are having one nozzle for the left and right sides of the car or having adjustable offset nozzles arranged on a base. Washer nozzles on wiper arms should not need adjusting because they are already centered and move with the arms. Individual nozzles may be adjusted by moving a tab connected to each nozzle by hand.
