Is this loud click normal?

[cp4ige]

Forgive me if I am an idiot.

I haven’t used my rear wiper sprayer in months. I went to use it today, and it makes a loud click each time I spray. I don’t remember noticing it that loudly before. Is the loud click coming from the front left pillar/area normal?

Thanks!

Doesn't sound normal

The hose for the rear does run up the left a-pillar and above drivers door, maybe the hose has come loose from a clip in a-pillar and is banging around when pressure is applied

Hose slap, did they do the windshield/roof recall on your car?

Nope, no recall repairs done. I don’t have the glass roof either.

Yeah the hose must have come loose from a clip in the A pillar or something. Have the dealer fix it.

I appreciate the video. I never knew how the rear sprayer worked. Too lazy to google it or read the manual.

My car does not make these noises and I agree it sounds like hose slap... but why?


Is it above freezing? Is it possible the hose is clogged with ice?
If you hold down the switch, does spray eventually come out of the sprayer in the back? If not, again is the line frozen?

It’s usually pretty warm here off and on, but it hasn’t gone below 50 degrees. Like I said I hadn’t messed with the rear sprayer in months until today and I get that loud knocking. When the lever is engaged, the spray comes out normal and full force. Beats me!

If it's just hose slap, it will be the easiest fix the tech at the dealership ever does.

At the same time, it may be because it is so quiet in the car, but I don't hear the relay click in my car... the stereo is usually too loud

Worrrd it would be nice to have an easy fix for sure.

it almost makes me wonder if this was always present and I couldn’t tell because of blasting my music.
