I accidentally poured coolant into my wiper fluid instead of wiper fluid. Now my washers don't work. The coolant seems a bit thicker than washer fluid. Did I damage my washers?

might want to buy a flush kit and try flushing it out and give it another shot and hope it works.

Flush them at they should be fine.

Good thing it wasn't the other way around, coulda been real ugly

kinda bad, heres somethin worse:

my uncle had a 96 suburban, and accidentally put brake fluid in the transmission, and tranny fluid in the brake lines....

stupid drunk uncle, he had em change the hoses and this and that (i know sh!t about cars) at the dealership, worked a couple weeks, then screwed up

THAT was bad
