Sometimes wax gets caught in the little nozzles, happened to me more than a few times, visually inspect them and see if you have it caked around the sprayer. I used a toothbrush to get rid of the wax inside, and it works great.

ive tired takin the nozzle out of the hose n tried the mist function but to no clonclusion...ill try to check the wiring & teh pump...

I have something crazy to try... i thought for sure that my mist was broken, but then i tried the button on the end of the stalk, instead of turning the stalk. nothing was wrong with the system, except that the icons on the stalk didnt really indicate how it worked. I assumed it worked like all the other cars i had ever driven.

Try the button in addition to turning the stalk.

I've got a '94 and I've had to replace my washer pump twice. To access it you'll have to remove the plastic wheel liner from your passenger side wheel. Then before you start tearing it apart you can have someone hold the button down while you listen to see if it actually makes any noise. It's a fairly simple replacement because you just pull the old one out of the reservoir. If you buy one from Advance it just pops right in, but it doesn't have a line for the rear washer so you just have to leave that one disconnected or figure a way to tie it in with a T so that it washes the rear and the front simultaneously. Good luck.

Is there washer fluid in it?

may sound dumb, but when my sprayer didnt work there wasnt any fluid in it.

that's what i was gonna ask, 90% of the people i know who think their washer sprayers are broken just ran out of fluid

plenty of fluid......ive tried taken out the nozzle n tried the mist function still nothin..ill try to take an indepth look into the pump...i think its teh major cause....

ok i jus went to advance n bought the washer pump..its for a coupe/vert....thas all they have available for my 6gc...i wanna kno is it goin be different between n coupe/vert & hb?...im goin try to install it tomorrow..jsu wanna kno some info b4 i start on this...

well hopefully it has a line for the front and back. if not you will probably have to make it only work for the front. you may need to splice too... really i think you should just return that and get one for a hatchback if it doesn't have a rear pumpline, since the 2 line one is 3 wires, and the single line pump is 2 wire.
