Is it possible to vapor lock the lines for the windshield wash? I was driving down the road, sprayed my windshield, ran out of fluid. When I got home I put more fluid in (oddly only took about half a bottle), now when I pull the switch I can hear the motor running but no fluid comes out.

The hoses for the washers run underneath the hood liner right above the battery. Most aftermarket batteries are a little taller than the factory Motorcraft battery and will pinch off the lines when you shut the hood. Look for rubbing on the liner above the terminals. At least that is what my problem was.

I'd say no, it's a pretty simple pump. Check for clogs or leaks.

+1 Take some compressed air and blow through the lines. That should get whatever is in there out.
