Windshield wiper fluid squirters...

Anyone have issues with these on their truck? I haven't used them a ton until lately but when pulling the stalk back, sometimes it doesn't really do anything for 5-10 seconds. Sometimes it squirts a little, then nothing for a while then starts going. Sometimes it starts going right away.

Anyone else have this? Will probably mention that to the dealer at my 10K service as once winter gets going those things are important.

 

"squirters".... lol

 

Almost sounds like you have air in the system.

 

I use mine regularly. They work flawlessly every time.

 

Same, now if you'll excuse me I have to open a new tab for no apparent reason...

 

came here for squirters

 

If that were the case, I would expect no water squirting out. But the wipers don't even start up either.

 

Ask @Diablo169 about his!

 

That's what she said.

 

Lol.

 

Why is this funny? I have a serious question here.

 

Mine was an issue with the nozzles spraying directly at the plastic cowl. After 3 cowls, broken clips, and 7 trips to the dealer they finally adjusted the hood and they now work about 90%, still slightly hits the cowl though. I didn't have any issues with intermittent discharge.

 

Yes I saw your thread, it didn't seem related.

 

I think it's becasue they called Windshield Spray Nozzles, not squirters.

 

Because we're children... Honestly though mine have pretty good flow On my old Tundra they would do what you're describing. It was dirt in the line don't think this would happen on such a new truck though.

 

Whatever, they squirt washer fluid. It won't let me change it anyway.

 

oh gotcha.

I just remember you talking about it. Glad you got it resolved.

 

But again the wipers don't come on and wipe the window either during that time, which doesn't make sense for air/dirt in the line.

 

This makes it sound like its in the switch connected to your lever. If you tap it up a few times does it work?

Like instead of just holding it, pull it and let go a couple of time then pull it.

My last car had some issues in the steering column.

 

ooooh wasn't clear in the first post, thought it was just the squirters.
I feel like it would have to do with electrical then? Or the switch not making good contact? I suck at electrical stuff though...
