Default Windshield washer very low spray on driversside

Replace the pump and it seems to spray water, although on the driversside it's a very small amount. I blew the hoses and the sprayer on the arm through with compressed air, but it didn't seem to help.

Any suggestions ?

Have you checked to see of the nozzle is clogged?

I've blown compressed air through it and it seems to come out pretty good.

How about the tee? If it's just one side that's weak, checking everything from and including the tee to the nozzle should pinpoint the problem. Perhaps replacing the hose with the one on the opposite side as a test will show something. Or if the weak side has a longer run, perhaps the pump is weak. Also, take a good look at the nozzle as it could be partially clogged limiting pump pressure but not compressed air.

Your washer actually sprays something? Man that is so cool!

unfortunately the tech inspector was not amused at the pump not working, so I had to replace it. They are really busy here at the tech inspection centers. Like I said it sprayed on one side, but almost nothing on the other.

Where do you get the lines to the nozzles.
