Default Windshield Washer

Has anyone had a problem with their windshield washer?
Won't pump water, I had it at dealers last week and had
a oil change..they then spent a hour checking fuses etc...
said I need to leave overnite or bring back since next thing
was to go in thru the bottom of engine and check the pump
itself..a three hour job...was hoping maybe a forum member
might have had same problem...

I'm still waiting for my C6. But, I think that I used the windshield washer about twice on my C5. Who wants that blue stuff splashing onto the convertible top?

Windshield washer pump inside the bottom of the engine? That doesn't sound right. I think I'd get a second opinion.

Good luck getting it fixed.

I agree with you guys about useage on the washer...I just was
hoping it was something others had experienced and easy fix..
and what I was trying to say about the work was they must
put it on lift and go up thru wheel well or the bottom of the engine area...

Tried it one time.

Only because some jerk in front of me on the freeway was using hers (while on her cell phone)...blowing her over-spray all over my very clean car....

so I whipped around in front of her to give her some of the same treatment...

I know, that wasn't nice....but I felt better. :o

I drive my car in most weather conditions and frequently use the washers. They are very effective and have worked perfectly every time. Let the dealer fix this one.
