Default Windshield Washer Fluid - How?

Okay, this is the question to top all questions.

How do you activate the windshield washer fluid? I filled the reservoir, bt where are the controls?

Push the windshield wiper button in -- I think that will do it.

If stuck, why not remove the switch and see if you can disassemble and 'unstick' it? If it's not working now, you don't have anything to loose, but time, and if you can't get it to work, then you can purchase a new one.

I've had luck in the past doing this type of repair on electrical switches, sometimes they are simple dirty, and need no more than cleaning / lubrication with dielectric grease, other times they may have a contact which has been burnt, and it simply needs a little brushing with very fine emery cloth to assure proper contact is being made.

Cleaning it seems to have worked. Although I think the aim is off...I'm washing the road more than my windshield!

Thanks dudes!
