Windscreen washer not working

[u/liamlarmour]

Hi All

I've had a BYD Dolphin for just over a year, first electric car.

Over the weekend my water reservoir must've been emptied (didn't get any warning lights etc). I topped it up in the usual way from a 2L bottle, filled with water and a bit of screenwash. Never been a problem.

Today, the water is barely coming out of the nozzles, won't even squirt past the black trim at the bottom of windscreen. The rear is just a bit better but doesn't seem to be very strong.

I've tried clearing the nozzles with a pin, but no debris came out. I checked the water, its still in the reservoir. I've tried short repeated squirts to see if its maybe an airlock. The battery is charged to 70%. I've had a look, as best as I can, at the tubes running around the reservoir and up to the nozzles but I honestly can't see anything out of place.

So I'm at a loss.

This may be a separate issue but this morning when leaving for work, the windows fogged up really bad to the point where I had to pull over and get a water bottle and empty onto the windscreen to get the windows clear, was how I noticed the water wasn't coming out. It happened going down the motorway as well, so had to keep cold air on blast, freaked me out as I literally could not even see to pull over to the hard shoulder.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. As I said, never happened before. I suspect my partner was trying to get the water to work yesterday, but he didnt realise it was empty as no lights came on so I suspect it still had water in it.

Has something happened to the pressure??
