    Washer Line Replacement

    Long time no see folks. Been gone a long time.
    85 635csi

    I got a wild hair up my.. anyway, and decided to chance the washer hoses. I copied the existing routing, noting the direction of the 1-way valves and which line went to the intensive bottle and the main reservoir.

    Upon completion the washer pump buzzed incredibly loudly.

    I double checked that the pump outlet was going to the nozzles and that it was drawing from the reservoir as well as checking for kinks in the line.

    Is there a priming process I have missed?

    The pump is still pushing through both nozzles at an admittedly anemic rate compared to before with the addition of the aforementioned loud buzzing.


    I did a quick keyword search before posting and did not see anything that would explain my situation.
    Any advice is welcome.

    I would suspect the pump itself.
