Windshield washer sprayer jet thingies

[Rob@USC]

Sorry, I don't know what they're called [img]graemlins/dunce.gif[/img] . Anyways, whatever they're called, they're the black things that spray washer fluid on the windshield when you push the lever that says "push," or something like that. Well, the driver side one seems a bit happy (or just too much pressure there :D ) and it can cover the entire car from the jet all the way to the back of the rear hatch. The passenger side one doesn't mist like the driver side. It is like a stream (imagine turning on a water hose, but not very high pressure) and it only goes like 5 or 6 inches. I traced the line that goes to them and I dont' see any cuts/cracks or anything like that. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Sounds like the passenger side nozzle is a bit clogged, which is upping the pressure the driver's side sees.

Try disconnecting the hose from the passenger nozzle, and trying to blow some compressed air or water backwards through the nozzle. Also run the washer with the nozzle disconnected to make sure the line is clear, won't harm to flush it out a bit.

Otherwise, you might need to replace the passenger nozzle if it doesn't flow more freely.

How would I go about removing the jet? I'm sure if I look at it durring the day I'll see how, but it's almost 10 pm and it's way too dark to be looking at stuff like that.

Dark here in Arizona too. If you can't figure it out tomorrow, I'll take a look and post when I get back from work.
