Hi folks,
When I bought the car a few months ago, the windshield washer fluid seemed to work ok. There's a small leak in the reservoir and ultimately it went dry. So a little bit ago, I sprung for new wipers (the old ones were pretty shot and not the correct size) and fluid and filled her up. I did take out the reservoir and inspect the leak before filling...leak seemed small, so I went ahead.
Now I get no fluid! I hear a sound that I'm assuming is the motor (pump?)...
Other than poking some pins in the nozzles to make sure they're not gunked up, how else can I troubleshoot this problem?
Thanks!

Caitlin,
Te "leak seemed small, so I went ahead"?!?!
Fix leaks before filling things. Slow leaks are promises of future problems.
Back before Christmas, you were talking about missing battery hold down clamps. Have you found them yet? If not, this weekend, Nate stumbled across some that I had found during a P-a-P run, in December. If you want them, they are yours. Just let me know where to send them.
Your battery tray should have two bolts sticking up along the front edge. The battery hold downs fit over these (one through each hold down) and also over the edge of the battery. Flange nuts then go onto the bolts and hold down the hold downs, thereby clamping the battery in place.
