I have a 1989 240 DL Volvo wagon. The washer fluid does not spray. I have changed the fuse, filled the washer fluid tank, and have tentatively poked the nozzles with a needle. Still nothing. Anyone with any ideas?

My wife ran the washer fluid tank dry on her 2008 Ford Escape and informed me a week or two later. I filled the tank and nothing but a few sprinkles would come out of the sprayers every 5 or 10 seconds. I could hear the motors so knew it wasn't the motors. I traced where the hose hooked up at the bottom of the tank and unplugged it. There is a small screen filter between the hose and tank that had coagulated washer fluid of some sort. Used a toothbrush to clean the screen and hooked it back up. Worked instantly. Good luck.
That's fantastic I am having exactly the same and yes mine ran out a couple weeks ago to thanks I'll try all that x
Mine is a 2008 Explorer. I recently bought it used and thought the res was empty when I tried it cause I could here the motor. Bought some washer fluid and topped it off which it only took a cups worth so it was full. All I would get after that was a slight dribble from the nozzle so I tried unclogging them(typically gets clogged with dirt/grim), they were clean. Went to the hoses and blew through them, same. Pulled the wheel well and pulled the motor, it looked fine so had my buddy come over to press the washer button to verify the impeller was spinning, no issues. I was clueless from there but noticed none of the washer fluid came out when I pulled the pump.
I was having the same issue! I tested everything and couldnt figure out what the problem was, motor was working fine, I pulled it out and saw it spinning when activated, lines were clean no clogs what so ever, I pulled the lines off the pump hoping it would spray water everywhere when it was activated.... nothing! Motor turned on, but wouldnt pump anything! I figured maybe the pump wasnt going down in the tank far enough to pump anything, but it was kind of weird how when I pulled the pump off the tank no water came out either and it was hard to tell what was really going on without removing the entire tank itself. I came across this thread and saw someone talking about a filter being in the line and clogged. BINGO! Only the filter on mine (2011 Volkswagen Routan) is located directly on the water tank itself and the pump fits Into the filter.
water in tank but a little water coming out
