TheWilldog Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) Hi, 2008 Ford Edge SEL, about 145k miles. I did a quick search and didn't run across this topic on the forum. Has anyone else had to figure out what has caused a sudden drop in window wash spray pressure? A couple of weeks ago my windows wash sprayers appear to have gone out. I checked the obvious like making sure the reservoir was full (it is) and that the spray nozzles weren't plugged (they aren't), so I assume the problem is with the pump, but I don't know for sure. Wanted to check here before I go an try to figure how to replace the pump. I made a video of the current state of affairs - you can see I'm only getting a little bit of spray out of the passenger side nozzle and nothing at all on the driver's side. The back window spray seems to be normal, but that was never really strong to begin with. https://youtu.be/_1-9pBM1LnQ Regards Will Edited February 3, 2018 by TheWilldog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brucifer Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 Follow the tubing back from the nozzles. You might have to remove the clips holding the 'hood felt' to see if the lines are cracked or coming apart. You might see water dripping from the hood when you lift it. Pumps are usually go-or-no go AFAIK. You have to take the front passenger inner wheel well cover to access the pump. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) Had the same problem a few weeks ago.

TheWilldog Posted February 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) Followed your inx for removing the insulation blanket and the problem was immediately apparent. https://photos.app.goo.gl/1vLGwRsfHIEsxLtv1 Ordered some replacements on Amazon. I didn't see Dorman specifically for the Edge but I think these are similar https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XW75S4Q/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Thanks Edited February 6, 2018 by TheWilldog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWilldog Posted February 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Nozzles arrived this morning. Quick install and my sprayers are back to shooting over the windshield and onto the roof, just like I remember, thanks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
