Windshield washer not working, rear window wash does work
I have a 2011 Sienna LE. When I engage the washer spray on the rear window it works well. When I attempt to engage it on the windshield, the wipers come on, as expected, but no spray comes out.
There is only one pump for the front and rear spray.
I removed the washer hose near the spray nozzle, blew into it, and the reservoir started bubbling from the air; therefore, the hose is not clogged.
What else could be the problem?
Thanks for any ideas you can provide!
There are two pumps, front and rear windows, on the Sienna. The front pump needs to be replaced.
I am having the same issue with my 2011 sequoia. Did you find out what caused it and what you did to fix it?
Mine wasn't spraying either so I took the cover off the underside of the hood and disconnected the hose where it splits to go to the 2 different nozzles. There is a little black round thing there that the hose is connected too. I disconnected the feed line from that and ran the pump and it sprayed fluid. But when I hooked it back to the little round thing and disconnected the 2 lines going to the nozzles, it wouldn't spray. I didn't finish my fix yet, but it appears to me that for some unknown reason the fluid is not getting through that little round thing. My plan is to replace that and see what happens.
The little round thing is a valve. Make sure the hose from the tank comes in from the back of the arrow, not from the bottom of the little round thing. Repair shop did this wrong on mine when I got a new hood.
That was the problem with mine. The hoses were hooked up wrong for some reason or another. Switched them and worked fine.
same 2011 Toyota Sequoia. replaced the pump an no luck. blew through all the lines and made bubbles in the tank. the rear spray works fine. disconnected the first valve under the hood an tried spraying and no working came out from the small hose. what else could it be
I got mine to work after double checking fuse. It looked like it was ok, but was actually blown
Had local body shop work on damaged hood, had same thing happen, rear washer working but no fluid out of front nozzles. Locate the little black round thing and found hoses hooked up wrong switched hoses around and wella washer now working normal, Thanks for the great info.
I have a 2016 Sienna. Was not getting fluid on both front nozzles. Rear works well. disconnected hoses and blew air, verifying both nozzles were not clogged. Apparently the Tee valve that splits the fluid to both nozzles underneath the hood was clogged or poorly designed. Went to the local parts store and purchased assorted vacuum Y's Tee for about $3.99. Seemed to do the trick. Dealer wanted to charge $150 just to diagnose. If all possible avoid the dealer and use KISS (keep it simple stupid) method.
