my windshield wipers work, but when i try to spray the fluid, nothing comes out. the hose isnt blocked, and i have no clue if there is a fuse for this. can you help?

 

Check your fuse panels. If all fuses are good use a test light and unpluggthe washer pump and test the plug for power

 

is the hose connected at both ends? i had issues with a bus at work. i was close to the car in front of me, i used the windshield washer and the hose was off at the metal under the windshield. the stream shot straight onto the trunk infront of me. i was like wtf!?!?

maybe the pump is gone, maybe just maybe. the tank is empty. not insuting you, but just touching all bases.

 

Can you hear it run? Try to put your finger over one of the nozzles and see if the other side will spray.

 

im betting you put straight water in the tank, and it calcified(aka clogged the tips).

 

the tank is full, and i took off the head nozle, so just the hose is visible, and when i hit the switch to spray, nothing comes out. the hose isnt clogged either. im guessing something about the pump? it doesnt by chance have a fuse does it?

 

and which fuse would that be? i dont have a diagram for my truck. just the panel, that numbers the fuses. no descriptions

 

its not clogged

 

Take a test light and probe both sides of each fuse. And the owners manual has the fuse diagrams

 

You never said if you can hear it run

 

I'm always leery of people who post questions, but don't tell us what year, model ranger they have. this guy could be talking about a 2010, 1999, 1990, 1983, or whatever year ranger. My theory is: no Ranger info, No Help.

 

oops. did that recently to clean out the system. but then I put the reg blue back in the next day...

 

Had the same problem with mine and my pump was bad. You have a fuse diagram in your owners manual. if the fuse is good more than likely it will be the pump.

 

i dont have the fuse diagram....thats what i need to find.

 

Do you not have the owners manual? If not search online or probe each fuse with a TEST LIGHT!!!! Easiest way to tell if you fuses are good and if you have power to the pump!!!! Go to the local parts store and spend $15 to get a test light. They are great diagnostic tools

 

And to test the pump connector for power you willmprobanly need to have someone pushing the washer fluid spray control in the cab

 

I have a link on my computer at home that lets you look up a users manual for your truck. It will have a fuse diagram in it for you to look at. I will try to rememer when i get off work.

 

Am I the only pervert who did not think windshield cleaner sprayers when I read the title?

 

ok, for all you that dont look at the profile, i have a 89 ranger, swb, 2.9 L v6. and yes i think your the onlt pervert that took the title the wrong way. i just need info where i can get a fuse diagram for my truck. dont have a manual, the squirters not clogged, and i think i can hear the motor working. so if you can help please do. thx

 

If you can hear the motor running then you shouldn't be chasing wires.

 

that's a terrible theory!

 

then again, i think all i hear is the wipers motor working. so i dont know. im getting one of the test lights soon

 

i was going to give you the link but it only goes back to 96 so it wont help you find a manual for your 89. sorry

 

thanks anyways

 

Have you tried unplugging the hose from the squirter and then activating it? Maybe the squirter is the one clugged, not the hose.
