Un-Clog Washer Nozzle??
 
just replaced all of the hoses for the windshield washer in hopes of freeing a clog that prevents the water from getting to the windshield.
it is now obvious that the sprayers are clogged
is there an easy way to clean tham out?
thanks

Carefully poke at them with a sewing needle until all the gunk is worked out (probably wax), then flush then with washer fluid.

i unhooked the hose at the pump and back flushed with controllable nozzle on a garden hose.

I used simple green in the nozzle and left it soak for 30 minutes.....then used an air compressor to force air through the nozzles. I shot out a lot of black sludge.....then the washer pump was connected an it works fine....a needle can be used to adjust the spray location on the window.

The L and T-shaped check valves can also go bad, I just had to replace one of mine.
