Default Clogged Windshield Washer nozzle

It seems somehow I have a nozzle clogged... Any ideas on the easiest way to clear it?

Thanks!

Mine has done that a couple of times. This is what I've done.

Lift the hood.

Disconnect the hose from the clogged nozzle.

Slide the nozzle forward then pull up to remove it from the hood.

Use your air compressor to clear the nozzle.

This should fix the problem for you

Why not just use your air compressor and skip all those other steps?

It has hapened a few times on mine. I have a lazy fix that works about 50% of the time.

1) When the nozzle is clogged, you can try to dissolve through it from the back. Do 5-10 fast pulses of the winsshield water fluid. Nothing will come out, but it will start to dissolve the plug. Then wait.

2) Come back an hour later and it should be unplugged. You might have to pulse it a few times to make it work.

If that doesnt work....I wait for rain to cleanse my nozzle. Yeah, I'm that lazy.
