Clogged Spray Nozzles From "Talk2DIY Automotive" episode DTTA-107

• The sprayer nozzles for your windshield fluid are located a couple of different places. They could be located on the cowl itself, or the wiper arm. If it is located on the wiper arm, get a flat bladed screwdriver and carefully push the nozzle off the wiper arm (figure A) and remove it.

• Carefully pull out the windshield wiper lines (figure B). They could be cracked and if that is the case, they can be replaced at an auto parts store.

• If you have wax buildup on the nozzle, you can get it out with a wax adhesive remover. Place the remover on a rag and wipe the nozzle, and then get a pick (not a pen or toothpick) and pick the wax out (figure C).

• If it is clogged so bad that it is in the hose, you will have to have the hose replaced by your local dealer.

• If the nozzle is clogged with paint, simple dish detergent may remove the paint.
