Default Drver's Side Windshield Washer Quit, Other One Works Fine - Suggestions......

My aliens have been removed and the driver's side quit working just about the time the washer fluid low level came on. Passenger side works just fine and is plenty strong.

No water under the car.

Any suggestions?

Search didn't come up with much either.

Thx, John

They're driven by one pump, has to be something with the line or nozzle..

Default I had one clog once....

I removed the nozzle and blew air threw it in the opposite direction of the washer fluid flow. When I did I had a small piece of plastic come out. While you have it off, active the washers and make sure the line isn't clogged.

Default Trace the hose and check to see if it is disconnected.

There is a connection after the passenger side nozzle that can come loose. If this is it, reconnect and use a cable tie to secure.

You might not see water under the car if it is getting trapped in the belly pan.

If the hose is disconnected, you should see a puddle of washer fluid below?

try a tooth-pic or a thumb tack in the sprayer (nozzle)
