Windshield washer failure

[MICO]

Yesterday I went to spray my windshield and nothing happened. I thought I was out of fluid so I opened the hood and checked the fluid level in the tank. I added a full gallon of fluid. Still nothing
I could hear the actuator starting but no spray! The rear wiper worked fine; water and wiper
The problem is the front sprayer. To access the tank means taking apart the entire fronk, all the panels and all the screws. Does anyone know what a dealer would charge to access the tank and how long this process should take? A You Tube that I found shows a very intensive dive into the front end. I can only assume the hose is disconnected from the tank going to the front wipers or the tube is clogged with dirt. Either way, the panels need to be removed!
Anyones idea and thoughts would be appreciated

If your vehicle's still within its original warranty terms, then this would be a covered repair.

Should be under warranty still.

Yeah, why would you think it's not covered?

My MME is 14 months old with 15k miles. Is that still under the warranty

It’s Ford ?

Probably. Your service advisor can make sure for you.

I made an appointment already. I just thought someone would know what’s involved

That’s less than 3 years and 36k miles, so yes.

Yeah sorry -- I might guess it's a disconnected hose, but I'd just be guessing.

36 months / 36,000 miles.

is there fluid flowing out from under the car? Hoses may have wiggled apart on their own.

The washer hose to the rear probably came disconnected. You can remove the frunk panels and check the hoses yourself. They are the small black plastic tubes. Look for the one that runs from the reservoir up the driver's A-pillar.

The rear works. It’s the front windshield that I have a problem with. The lines are connected to the spray model behind the wipers. I can’t see the hose beyond that without taking all the panels off. I’m just wondering if anyone has had the same issue and how difficult to get to the reservoir tank?

If its not running out under the car its pluged. Try a fine wire in the outlet hole.
