For some reason, my passenger sprayer nozel is shooting lower on the windshield. I think it and possibly the driver side one are clogged. Does anybody know a way to clean them? I also put new washer fluid in, it seems thicker than usual, I don't know, maybe it's just my imagination. And yes, it is washer fluid!
-Thanks in advance!

WAR EAGLE!!

 

look at them to see if you may have wax build up causing some blockage. I have seen that before. Anyway if you think they may be blocked you can use a needle to clean the jet of any debris that may be causing the problem.

 

I found one of mine wasn't spraying very well recently. What I did is disconnected the hose, removed the nozzle from the hood, soaked it in hot dish soap and then just blew threw it. It works fine now.

Open your hood and follow the hose to it. Simply pull the hose off, squeeze the clips together and push the nozzel out through the top of the hood.

 

I recently had the same problem on the ex's Taurus - and it wasn't a clogged nozzle. Before you go too far, see if the supply line has a leak in it. Her's had a hole rotted in it and all of the fluid just gushed out under the hood. A couple of feet of new hose and she was back in business.

 

Yeah, I'll bet she was, after you gave her the hose.....

 

one other thing to try if some fluid is spraying out it to put you finger over the spayer sometimes this will clear the clog.

 

I hate to reactivate an old thread. But I am having the same problem with my driver side spray nozzle on my 2007 F-150. I tried a needle and a paper clip and it still doesn't spray right. Instead of a fan affect like the passenger side I get a direct squirt towards the extreme driver side. Any other ideas to clear the clog. I thought of bringing it in to the dealer to replace the nozzle?

Have you taken it off to soak in dishsoap? If you are scared to remove it, soak a Q-tip in rubbing alcohol and try that. If that fails, Simple Green on a q-tip might work, and if that fails, try the dealer. But my advice is to avoid the stealership until absolutely necessary.

 

Get a small nylon brush and scrub around the little nozzle and then wipe it off. Dirt and other junk can build up in there causing it to spray funny.

 

perhaps take it off, soak it good, and then try blowing compressed air back through it (blow on the spray side)

 

I will try and report back.
