First let me introduce myself. My name is James and I just got an 04 350z for my birthday from my awesome wife. We got a smokin deal and the timing was perfect. Now onto my question. I was topping off all the fluids and giving it the once over today and the wiper fluid doesn't spray out anymore. I checked the tubing and it's not kinked and I checked the nozzles and they're not clogged. I even tried to see if a fuse was blown, but could not find one for the wipers. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance and this site is awesome

James

I haven't checked for voltage anywhere, nor do I know where to check the voltage. I'm going to get the FSM in a minute and prob. just replace the pump.

Have your wife hit the washers and listen for any noise coming from the motor. If you hear nothing, then pull the coupler to wipe off the contacts on the wiper motor and put it back together. If still nothing, then the motors probably dead. If you hear noise coming from the motor, then the pump motor is clogged, the hose has a clog or the nozzles are clogged internally.

stupid question since the FSM is still en-route. Where is the pump located? Thanks for all the help.

It will be in the bottom of the washer tank. If it's working you'll be able to hear it if you're even remotely close to the bottle.
