Like the title reads, the washer fluid isn't squirting out the nozels. I can hear the washer fluid Pump working, and the wipers move but the water just drizzles out the nozels like it dosen't have pressure. Could it be the nozels on the hood, or is there not enough pressure before the water gets to the nozels? How can I fix this? Thanks in advance. :)

I just hooked up an air compressor to the hose when mine clogged. Stand back if you do that. =p

Yeah, I cleaned them out with a needle. The passenger one works but the driver's side nozle is just too clogged. I think I'm going to replace it with the oem nissan one, autoparts only has the ricey chrome ones. I just aimed the passenger one to hit the center of the windshield, works for now. Glad its somewhat working, its one of those little things that really helps out that you normally take for granted.

Both of mine are completely shot on my new S14. I was just planning on ordering them new, but maybe I'll take them by my dads and blast them with his air compressor first.

Did you guys just not read what I said? Try cleaning the little nozzles out with a staple or a paper clip.

Probably should have mentioned that I tried that before declaring them shot. They're just too far gone I guess. The original owner, a 45 year old lady, prolly put hose water in it or something. They're gross, and all the little hose elbows under the hood were crushed and broken when I got the car.

Watch what you use doesn't eat rubber/plastic...
