Windshield Wiper Fluid barely coming out....WTF?

Both sides are barely coming out. At first, I thought I was low, I filled up and both sides are still barely coming out. They only hit the lower part

Angry Windshield Wiper Fluid barely coming out....WTF?

Both sides are barely coming out. At first, I thought I was low, I filled up and both sides are still barely coming out. They only hit the lower part of the windshield. WTF??

That sucks, man.

Measure the voltage if you can at the connection for the pump.
Make sure the orifaces are not occluded.

That's all I got

Mine has the same problem - does not spray at all.
At first I thought the tank is empty but it is full.
Will bring to dealer next week.

Oh you're the guy who doused me and all the others on the freeway the other day..

It's probably just some crap where the jets are on the arm.. q-tip and some cleaner should help.. maybe CLR if it's calcium looking?

I see you are in Jersey. Have you considered that they may be frozen? Are you sure the tank is filled with washer fluid and not water (depending on who would have topped off the tank)?

Just somethings to consider......
