Screenwash sprayers

[darecky]

Hi all

Long time lurker, first time poster here:)

I have come across a screen wash that doubles up as a de-icer, and was wondering if there is a way to spray screen wash on the windscreen without the wipers activating?

They come on too quick for "pulsing" the spray to be viable.

Hi and welcome.
Wipers automatically starts when you spray some screen wash on the windscreen, I think you can not spray fluid only without activating the wipers, I trick them sometimes with very sharp and short pull on the stalk but not much of screen wash comes out, I do that after I have cleaned the windscreen already and I need just to remove the residue of the washer on it, always left some after use.

Yes the sharp and short pulls is what I meant by pulsing the stalk.
From memory I think the rear sprayer can be triggered just to spray without the wipers activating so I though there may be a trick to do it with the front one.

Thanks for responding!

Yeah, the rear one you can if you turn the stalk backwards., front one no option.
