Windshield Washer Repair - Replacing the Dispenser Line and Pump

  • For about two years (yikes!), my windshield washer fluid wouldn't dispense on my 2012 Chrysler Town and Country. I finally got around to repair it, and learned both a failed pump and a broken dispenser line were the culprits. This is a relatively simply repair, despite being difficult to reach.

    You are an inspiration. My line just broke the same way in a different spot, and now the system is spewing washer fluid out over my left shoulder when I try to wash windows. I love to see a woman of my age just going for it - gives me hope I can manage this one myself, too!!

    Hello,there's a 1/8×1/8 connector piece that works,also small diameter rubber hose.Instead of dismantling the entire line.With the small rubber hose make sure you connect the more difficult broken piece first,in my case it was the line coming up where it broke.The line coming down was more easier to slide on. Moistened ends will slide on more quick.

    OMG! Do I have to crawl under my car to fix this? I want to cry as I am dealing with a messed up broken wrist and cataracts! But at least I know what to do now on my 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan which has been without washer fluid spray for a couple months now. Just pulled the wheel well panel thinking the pump was hiding there from one CZcams video but now see it was for a 2006 model and the repair book i just purchased for $27 at Auto Zone just tells you where to put washer fluid in! That's it. No mention of fuses or pump locations, nothing! Like Duh! So annoyed right now! But thank you for at least showing me it can be done. Hope I can get up once I'm done! LOL!

    You may want to consider changing wire out for zip tie. The wire will rub a hole in the plastic.

      @@ChickFixUSA, I wish you were my neighbor--we could be a pain in the butt to the HOA together!!! They changed our rules to once you start a vehicle repair it must be finished in 24 hrs. I'm debating on whether or not to try to change the windshield wiper bushings for the 2nd time in 5 yrs. Also, need to replace the fluid tubing and a broken spray nozzle. I think I'll go for it :)

    I ordered the same kit on Amazon it came with the hose and nozzles and plastic adapters nozzles were easy to replace the only problem I have the fluid doesn’t come out properly so I think there’s pieces of plastic still stuck somewhere inside the hose and I need to somehow separate the hose so I can properly fit the plastic adapters it came with which I am having a problem with separating them. How did you separate yours mine seem to be really stuck together? 🤔
