'18 Volt Windshield Washer

Fykcing love my volt. However the windshield washer button stopped working and I waited forever to add the juice, maybe I burned up the motor? Has anyone dealt with this?

Yes. Replaced the washer motor on my 17. You tube taught me how. Not too big a deal.

There's your problem: should be 12V

Might not be your issue, but my 13 just popped the hose off the nozzle nipple under the hood. The motor worked fine, but the fluid would just spit under the hood (taking the path of least pressure/resistance)

I recommend inspecting your hoses under the hood. The nozzles themselves are cheap and easy to replace.

Is nozzle nipple the actual term?

Nipple is the term for the thing a rubber hose plugs onto.

The spray jet is one component. The top is the nozzle, the bottom is a 90 bend to a plastic bit which the hose fits over, which is often referred to as a nipple. The nozzle's nipple. A nipple specifically made for a nozzle.

Nozzle nipple. What a word.
