Can anyone help? My wiper fluid on my 89 944T sprays sometimes on
both sides of the windshield then sometimes it won’t spray at all. I
tried to see if the tips where pluged but does not appear to be.
Anyone know what is causing this and how to fix it?
Thanks,
9fourty4

Probably have a partially clogged fluid pickup in the reservoir. Use
only distilled water or commercial fluid. A little isopropyl alcohol
witl stop the growth of agae in reservoir. Or the pump could just be
bad.

pretty commonly you get bacteria growing inthe fluid and they clog up the
intake - dip intake in clorox, clean the reservoir and that may help
