Wiper Fluid Not Spraying

yingiee · 10-08-2019, 02:37 PM

My driver side is spraying regularly or maybe even too strong but my passenger side is squirting out only a little bit of fluid. I poked the hole with a paper clip and wiped the opening with isopropyl alcohol. Didn't fix anything. Any one else had this problem before? Should I shoot some wd40 into the hole?

Mine plugged up on both sides. Stealer ended up replacing them. $200. I thought my extended warranty was going to cover it.
Nope.
Now the driver's side is aimed too low. I'll fix it myself.

I'm no doctor, but that sounds like the clap.

Lol, shouldn’t have used “squirting” and use more car terms instead of “poke the hole”

But back to the problem at hand, the passenger side seems to have to pressure when shooting out the washer fluid. When I tested with the hood up, the fluid was just pouring out like a shitty school water fountain.

The driver and passenger nozzles run off the same line. From pass to driver. Maybe pull the passenger nozzle and soak it in something mildly acidic. Be careful not to break the clips holding the tubing to the hood. They're $5-6 bucks a pop.
