Just had a quick question...Windshield Fluid is not working on my 2006 Hyundai Accent.

Temperature outside is about -15
Reservior is topped up with Windshield fluid rated for -35
Activate switch on steering wheel, front wipers go but nothing squirting out
No humming noise coming from pump when switch is activated
Feeling the tubes under the hood they feel hollow
Rear Jet works fine
Drove the car for an hour figuring the heat from the engine might thaw any frozen points...nothing.

Does anyone have any idea on what the problem might be? Wasn't sure if the rear jet is fed by the same pump as he front (which would mean pump is working) or if there is a blockage in the front line somewhere...

Thanks for any help! If it was the pump anyone know if it's covered under Warranty in Canada?

 

If you don't hear the motor, then either the fuse is blown, the switch is bad, or the pump is frozen. Probably the pump is frozen, but check the fuse first under the dash on drivers side.
Should be the wiper fuse, as shown it the diagram. Remove the pump next, try to thaw it out. If not that, check continuity on the switch between terminal 3 and 7 with switch on.

Thanks for your help! Tried the fuse but that wasn't the problem...so I'm going with the Pump being frozen and will try thawing out tomorrow.

 

Paul keep us posted with a followuP when you can please!

Did you ever figure out what the issue was? I'm dealing with the same thing on my 2019 Hyundai Tucson. Temperate here have been in the teens, and yesterday my both my front windshield and rear window nozzles did not spray. I don't hear the pump either

 

I have a 1997 Hyundai Accent 1.5 GLS that I recently did a head gasket on. Everything is back together, and she runs beautifully, but the fan does not turn on. I have replaced the engine temp sensor as well as the fan switch located on the thermostat housing twice, but it does exactly the same thing. While the car idles, I unplug the fan switch, and the fan comes on. Reconnect the plug, it turns off directly. What can the problem be?

 

The general idea is for the fan to come on to protect the components should an electrical failure develop.or the circuit opens allowing the fan to run.
Can we inquire how you determined the fan was not working as designed?

 

Your pump may have experienced water and frozen over. Yeah, the fluid says good down to -35 but, sometimes water gets into the system.
Wait til warmer days or got to a heated garage and replace the fluid after the motor starts working again.

 

The sensor is not telling the fan that the coolant is hot enough??

 

Some cooling fan systems do not work with the sensor turning them on. A relay stays energized (contacts open) until either the hold signal is dropped or there is an electrical failure . Then the fan comes on. It's like a fail safe design where if control is lost the fans come on automatically thereby preventing an overheat condition..
It works the reverse of what we are used to seeing...
