      @@BudgetMechanicHawaii Hi man, mine is not working on one side only, not spraying, just getting water out without pressure. Will have a look under the hood.
      Also, are you able to post something to remove the wheel arc of an ASX 2017 (or later) to disconnect the washer fluid warning on the dashboard? I just want to disconnect the sensor in the water container I don't care if I don't have warning as long as I don't see that warning in the dashboard even if my water container is full. Thanks

    In my 55+ years of owning vehicles and driving I've never had a pump go bad. I've had hoses and connectors break (I keep my cars a lonnnng time) I've had nozzles get clogged or break off. Easy fixes.
    Keep making videos . . . Will help a lot of people.

    • @BudgetMechanicHawaii
      @BudgetMechanicHawaii  10 місяців тому +4

      Probably because you are conscientious about keeping your fluid topped up. Motors burn out a lot when people let fluid get too low and it sucks the junk and coagulated fluid in
