Faulty Windshield Wiper Sprayer? - Squirts Out only 1 nozzle

[dspace9]

My windshield sprayers (left and right) only spray one side or the other sometimes. Sometimes work perfect.

The left sprayer will squirt washer fluid, in the correct V pattern onto the windshield, and the right won't. Nothing's blocked I'm 99% certain, and 99.9% certain the motor running the pump is fine.



I think there's a kink in the hose from my Mirage's windshield washer reservoir to the nozzles.
If I open and close the hood this sometimes makes it "magically" fix...so I think it's a hose kink.

Is this a manufacturer's defect sort of issue?

Still only have 1 sprayer nozzle that squirts out washer fluid. Luckily it's the driver's side that still works. Not sure what's going on, I follow the hose but I'm not certain where the nozzle starts on the washer pump. I'm not disconnecting anything and blowing it out because for one thing, I don't have an air compressor at home.

You don't need two hands, just take the hose off the nozzle and run the sprayer with the hood open. if you see washer juice come flying out under the hood then you know the nozzle is clogged up.

Some people are visual learners - I would do things in these steps first -

Thanks Mark. I'll start with the pin trick when it's light out.

And above freezing but hopefully that won't be necessary.

So, did this wiper nozzle issue get solved, or did we just merge over into a snow tire thread?

Drifted into a thread about snow tires. I can't do anything about my nozzle problem until it warms up outside.

Why? The fluid used should be protected against freezing.

Unless that is the problem?
