Windshield sprayers

Post by 04chargedvibe »

Just recently when i hit a bump water shoots out of my sprayers from the hood. Its never done this before and i was wondering if anyone has an idea as to why. Not a big deal but dose get old seeing water about ever 100FT in town lol. The bumps i hit are not masive or anything. Any ideas?

might be an issue with the wiring for the fluid pump which is causing it to short anytime you hit a bump?
YES!I still visit GenVibe periodically. I have not forgotten about my "original" family over here!

check this out if you feel the need to get to the reservoir and the pumps. hopefully you can find out what's wrong and it won't take a lot of time and effort to fix.
None. Vibe is gone.

DrugsDrug treatment may be needed to relax the washer fluid tank so it can hold more fluid, decreasing the need for frequent squirting. Other drugs help tighten the pump check valve to avoid uncontrolled fluid leakage. Still other drugs are used to help empty the washer fluid tank for conditions in which the tank does not empty completely.Side EffectsThe most common, to the driver that is, side effect of drugs is dry mouth. To counteract this effect, you might suck on a piece of candy or chew gum to produce more saliva. Other less common side effects include constipation, heartburn, blurry vision, rapid heartbeat, fluid retention and cognitive side effects such as impaired memory and confusion.Please check with your auto mechanic or doctor for additional information.
