Nice. My sister in law lives in Fort Lee. I live in Montville.

If you're looking for a decent Nissan dealership to do warranty work, take it to Hilltop Nissan in East Hanover. About 30 min from you. Most other Nissan dealers suck a$$

They're the only decent place that usually gets the job done.

nice nice :) My friend actually lives in Montville too! haha he has black Acura TL type S. used to be mad loud but went to stock :) anyway thanks for the info :bowrofl:

Mine hasn’t been working for a while either, and I was reminded by the dealer on their inspection sheet it wasn’t working. After reading this thread I held the lever for a bit and it started working. Super happy I thought It was gonna be an actual problem lol but turned out being no big deal.

2 Minutes of Activation fixed wiper fluid dispenser

Like others, I had the same problem where no washer fluid was coming out of the hood nozzles. I hadn't used the washer fluid in nearly a year. I filled my washer reservoir but nothing would come out. I could hear the motor making a noise as if it was trying to dispense the wiper fluid. I held the washer dispenser down for about two minutes and the fluid finally came out. If anyone else has this problem I recommend trying this as well.

I believe I found a fix for the poor washer fluid sprayers. Basically, I soaked the nozzles in a vinegar water solution and hit them with compressed air.

First, I confirmed that the pump was actually working by sound. Next I disconnected the hose going into the driver side nozzle and ran the pump to verify fluid was making it to the nozzle. Since water was getting there with good pressure, the problem was the nozzle. There is a check valve in the nozzle so flow will only go one way. I tried blowing water through the nozzle and felt a lot of resistance. Either the check valve was sticking or the nozzle office was clogged. I soaked the nozzle in vinegar/water in case there was any build up. This didn't solve the issue, but may have helped loosen things up. I then ran compressed air through the system. The trick was blowing air in reverse. (i.e. in through the sprayer) blowing air into the water inlet, didn't seem to help. This leads me to believe whatever was clogging mine was too large to push through the sprayer orface.
