2. Inspect the direction and quantity of windshield washer
fluid sprayed.
1) If the quantity of washer fluid ejected is insufficient:
Check the level of fluid in the reservoir, the nozzle for clogs
and the hose for twists, or other deformities. If these are all
normal, suspect motor failure.
2) If the position at which washer fluid is ejected is wrong:
Using an eyeleteer or similar tool, adjust the direction of the
nozzle, be careful not to damage the nozzle hole.
3. Check the operation of windshield wiper and washer.
