Default wind washer stopped up!

My pass side washer is not pumping out fluid. Maybe clogged line? Thought about blowing it out with air backwards, don't know? Lil' help please! Thanks, kpaul in SC

I had the same problem and ended up using a sewing needle in the tip of the spray nozzle backwards to try to get some of the crap out of it. I had to remove the actual nozzle from the windshield wiper arm which are not TOO difficult to remove and then unplug the whose and stick the needle inside the opening and try to blow air through it either with your mouth or air compress just make sure to not launch the nozzle across the yard. lol I had to play with it a little bit. You might be able to just take the nozzles off and put them in like CLR that stuff to clean nozzles in your shower head in the bathroom. I just used the need and was able to get them to flow pretty good. BECAREFUL not to be too rough with the needle, not only will it stab you but you might break off part inside the nozzle.....which I did but luckily it didnt take too much to get it to come out.
