Possible bad check valves...

The in-line washer check valves will sometimes go bad. It seems that some washer fluids may soften the rubber membrane in the check valves. The valves can either be replaced or repaired (search the BB for 'washer check valve' for more information on this).
On my 1998 900SET, there are 4 windshield/headlight/hatch glass washer line check valves.
1) One "in-line" check valve is located about 12" from the washer pump, in the washer line that goes to the rear hatch, just before that line disappers through a hole in the the inner sheet metal fender.
2) One "Tee" check valve is located behind the left (driver's) side headlight in the washer line that feeds both the headlight washers.
3) One "Tee" check valve is located under the engine hood in the washer tube that attaches the the left (driver's) windshield washer nozzel.
4) One "in-line" check valve is located under the engine hood in the washer tube that attaches the the right (passenger's) windshield washer nozzel.
On some NG900 models I understand that the "in-line" check valve #4 is not present. The "Tee" check valve #3 is actually located mid-way betweeen the two windshield washer valves and feeds both the driver and passenger washer nozzels.
