Wipers dont spray water anymore

[Sean4aus]

I had a crack in the windshield and Obrien came out to replace it but now water doesnt spray out of the wipers anymore.
The reservoir is full - i checked. I am wondering if maybe they disable/removed something to fit the windshield and forgot to connect it again?

Any ideas?

Wipers don’t spray water on a VE.

I have an '08 VE Commodore and it comes out of the wipers as they go over the windshield

Can you hear the pump motor activating if you open the bonnet and pull the wiper lever from outside the car (ignition on of course)?

yeah I can - i think, the wipers make alot of noise so it could be that. Im not very car savvy

lift the wipers off the screen and listen for the motor/pump. It will be located directly under the reservoir. It's just one of those little ones that make a distinct buzzing noise. If it's working, you'll hear it when you pull the stalk. Don't start the engine, just turn key to 'on'.

Okay, thanks for clearing that up - I cant hear anything.
Likely a pump/motor replacement?

Maybe, have you checked the fuse?

It’s also a possibility they didn’t reconnect the hoses on the wiper arms.

Look for water dribbling on the ground under the car.
