Hello everyone =),
The other day I was on my way to Oshawa from Aurora, Ontario.. and, It was very cold, and I had no whiper fluid in my car. I stopped for gas, and decided to look at buying a bottle of fluid. They had NO fluid for me to purchase, but the owner informed me of a barrel of whiper fluid he has in the back room. I was inclined at this point because I thought it would be free, which is was.
Anyway.. He grabbed a funnel, filled up a bucket and off to my car we went. I popped the hood and we poored the fluid into the car, where I left smiling with clean windows and a working whiper fluid system. The car was parked for about 2 days, but on the second day I started it and tried to get some fluid onto the windows. The RPM's dropped when I press the fluid button, and the blades come on after about 2 seconds of holding it in, BUT no fluid comes out!!!!
I found out later that the fluid the gas station attendant gave me, is the "Squeegy liquid" people use for their windows usually stored in a bucket of some sort beside the gas pump. I also found out this stuff freezes easy, so I rushed to a store and bought a bottle of whiper fluid good for up to -40 weather! Topped it up and still no fluid will come out. I checked all the fuses, I know the liquid is not frozen because theres a stick that is in my whiper fluid tank that agitates the liquid preventing freezing.. Moving the stick around it seems pretty free. I later disconnected all the tubes that go to the nozel on the hood, and no liquid is stored in them so nothing can be frozen in the lines.. I dont know what to do here guys.
Any ideas? I've looked over the car a million times and can't figure this out.
