Default Faulty squirter

On the grand scale of things this is low priority but it is still a bit annoying. The passenger side window squirter is a bit handycapped, it has a really pathetic squirt and no matter how long I let it run I cant get the fluid to reach above the half way point on the window. I took a look at the nozzle and couldn't see anything obviously wrong with it. The driver side is a champ and works grand.

Has anyone had a similar issue and fixed it? Does anyone know if they run off separate motors? Does anyone have an inspection/service procedure they could share

Thanks,
C

It sounds like its clogged. Get a safety pin and clean out the spraying hole.

your gonna need to take off your windshield wiper cowl and find the line to the pass side, then disconnect the line and shoot a jet of pressurized air through it to dislodge whatevers in there. You may even be able to see what it is that is clogging it.
