anyone have this problem? i see the tank for the fluid is full but when i pull the lever in on the steering column, i dont hear anything and nothing happens..

I would check the motor itself and the wiring, the motor is located at the bottom of the reservoir in the driver side area behind the front bumper. You can usually access it by removing the plastic clips holding the plastic fender liner in. Or just take it to the dealership if you do not want to have to deal with it

Thanks,
Rick

Have someone pull the lever while you listen under the hood. If you hear the pump, check the lines for leaks.

And/or crimping.

Would be a good time to check blinker fluid and exhaust bearings.

The fluid line might be crushed somewhere under the hood.

I would definitely start checking these ^^

make sure the car is on too when you test it.

Just keep pushing it.

Sometimes you have to prime the pump.

Usually you can use a pin or fine wire to punch through the hole where the fluid comes out to clear it.
But first you have to determine if the head is clogged.

But why should I go into more detail?

Why?

It's under warranty.

Take it to the dealer.
