While out for a drive today, my wife sprayed wiper fluid on the windshield. It started spraying, and didn’t stop – damn thing stuck on, and no amount of fiddling with the control would stop it. Eventually it ran out of fluid, but you could still hear the pump motor running.
We’re taking it to the dealer in the morning, but I’m wondering – should I fill the washer reserve with water before we go? Basically, is it better or worse if the pump is actually pumping anything or not? I’d obviously rather not burn the pump out and have to have that part replaced, and I’m a bit unsure of which would be the better course here.
