Default Windshield Washer does not work? (Help Needed!)

Hello all,

My 2002 SC430's hood nozzles won't spray water to the windshield. The Head light nozzles worked and retracts. I don't hear a noise or anything when pulling on the switch. Reservoir is full and does not leak, what could be the issue? Also where is the motor or fuse located at? Any information or ideas are greatly appreciated! Thank you all!

Welcome to the Club and Congrats on your first post!!

Okay, this happened to us as we were assuming the windshield wiper washers work the same as our newer Lexus/other cars by pulling the lever towards us to spray…

Then we realized the button on the end of the wiper lever and pushed it and the washer fluid worked as normal — and Yes, we felt like stupid idiots 😅

If it’s not that then, sorry, can’t help. Best thing to do would be to google your issue or make an appt to take it in to have it looked at.

On my 06 the fix was easy. The spray head was clogged and was fixed by simply running a needle through the spray head to unclog it.
