Windshield Washer Stopped Working

[bpeckham]

I don't use the windshield washer system that often, but after the bee squad bombed my car, I was driving home into the sun, and I decided to wash the window, and it didn't work.

The wipers swept over the windshield, smearing everything, but no washer fluid sprayed. Great.

What I've tried so far:

• Check the dashboard: no low washer fluid indication.
• Run the washers with the engine off. It seems like I can hear the whirring of the pump motor.
• Wash my windshield by hand (gotta see what's coming at you).
• Pull the "dip stick" from the washer fluid reservoir, seems like there's *some* fluid. Not full, but not empty either.

I may get some time to investigate more this weekend.

Anyone else have issues?

Seems like I have 5.5 inches of washer fluid, maybe out of 6.5 inches, if the pinkish staining is any guide. I really don't use the washers that much, so it would be kinda bizarre to have run out.

Any body out there care to check what you've got?

Looks like I'll be taking the car in to get this fixed.
