    It's horrible. I don't know what to do.

    When I bought this truck 3 months ago I checked EVERYTHING to make sure it all worked. But now I found something I forgot to check and it is seriously biting me in the ass.

    My windshield wiper fluid doesn't squirt. I get a bit of dust on the windshield which I can still see through just fine, but that doesn't mean I want it to be there, and I go to wash it off, and nothing. No fluid. Just dry wipers scraping across my windshield. I just want to sell my truck at this point, but I don't think I could get anything for it in this condition...

    I agree. That's exactly what I would rate this truck. I am so disappointed with Toyota.

    Not a serious issue. You can replace the whole windshield spray setup for silly cheap https://www.partsgeek.com/ or rockauto or even junk yard.

    A serious issue? Nahhhhh just a little money

    The amount of stops we make at the pump…I’m sure you can get a clean windshield at least twice a week

    My tundra can't even burn gas right. I get nearly 20mpg most of the time.

    Running over 37 mailboxes should help increase fuel burn. The cliff should solve the W/S washer issue. But you’d still have to live with a dashboard that looks like:

    I would take your offer but I would never be able to live with myself for taking advantage of you like that. This is my bed. I've got to sleep in it.

    You are probably a mismatch for that truck. You are probably way more manly than that truck. You should get a much more manly truck like one of them electric F150s and sell me that effeminate gurly man piece of shit. I am probably not nearly as manly as you. I do know that I can fix a windshield washer. Let me assist you in being the man that you really are and sell me that piece of shit. I am sure I can come up with a couple of hundred if I sell all my old empty beer cans. I will even throw in the address of one of my ex wives. She lives in Wyoming. She's not as cute as a sheep but she's easier.

    1.) check bottle is topped off with fluid
    2.) with hood open trigger the squirters for 30 seconds , see if fluid level went down and for wet spots.
    if fluid level hasn't changed or there is no wet spots
    3.) apply 12v's to spray pump with either a power probe or a jumper wire.
    if jumping the 12v's to the pump it doesn't spray
    4.) then also jump the ground with a wire
    if the pump doesn't work at all with no 12vs and ground being jumped then replace the pump.
    if the pump works, clean the contacts if that doesn't fix it.
    5.) look for fuse, check to see if the fuse is blown.
    check power at the switch, if it has power bridge the power in with the power out and if the pump squirts then replace the switch.
