I think that the rain-x wind shield washer fluid is great, been using it for years, 20 or so. no clogs. I love how the rain just slides off of the glass.

I always use the orange, is there a difference between the orange and green when it comes to clogging?

I don’t know what the difference is but most of the problems I’ve seen I remember the fluid being the green version.

My pump took a dump too. Prolly rainx.

How did you get to the pump? I thought I could get to it from the wheel well but can not. Did you pull the ECU and was it trickier than disconnecting the wiring and 2 bolts? Was hoping for a 10 minute fix but it may be more.
Thanks.

One thing that can be done: Blow air through the lines, low pressure, back into the tank. This should dislodge any crud in the lines, and whatever is clogging the pumps inlet side. Then, shove a water hose into the tank, turn up the pressure, and flush the tank of all sediment. I've done this several times, since the late 70's. Easier than taking things apart.
