Default new sub in, now the windshield washers dont work

i had a sub installed 2 weeks ago, and it just started raining, so i go to use my windshield washers to clean my whindshield, and they didnt work. i checked the levels and it was full. has this happened to anyone? did they disconnect my sprayers? is there a quick fix to this so i dont have to go back to the shop where i had it installed?

sounds like they may have used the power from your sprayers to hook up the remote wire... instead of tapping the wire, they probably stole it.... take it back to them and tell them... could also be that they stuck the wire into the fuse and didn't get the fuse pushed all the way back in...

And if they did that and you paid them for it, call them giz-hetto and tell them to do it right...

If whoever you had install the sub is supossed to be "professionals" and they stuck a wire into a fuse, make sure you tell them they're a bunch of idiots and never go back. Thats like the biggest no-no when it comes to installing stuff.

The idea behind an installation is for it to be reliable and safe and clean, and sticking a wire in a fuse is none of the above.
