The most common cause of this problem is waxing the nozzle on purpose or by accident. Get the pin.

I think they also tend to get blocked when not used for a long time. I've never used mine and apparently on the last service they tested it and had to unblock it.

i think i got too much wax residue in mine...better lay off the waxing for awhile huh? anyways, I, too will be trying Nin009's solution.

Im like everyone else it seems ... my driver's side doesnt work either. I thought it might be due to wax but Ive tried poking it with a pin and still it doesnt work.

Rx man,

I am trying to think if I have ever used the washers. I don't think I have. I carry a spray bottle of windshield cleaner in the trunk and a roll of paper towels. I stop every hour or so for a break and clean the windshield then. Bugs are the biggest problem and so I don't want to smear them across the windshield with the wipers. Just an idle question: Are you a pharmacist?

Driver's side hesitated for me, but then worked.

Is there a pettern here?

Windshield washer fluid is a combination of water with antifreeze (the blue stuff - usually some kind of alcohol) and a bit of soap. If you don't use the washers for a period of time and if it's been hot and dry, the alcohol promotes evaporation. Once the fluid in the spray nozzles evaporates, it leaves the residue which is most likely the soap and dirt.
Everytime you wash your car, give the nozzles a squirt (operate the windshield washers quickly) before you actually wash the car. If it's plugged, then when you have your garden hose in hand for the washing and rinse, give it a good blast at each nozzle and it'll get the nozzle wet (re-hydrate the residue) and do a "reverse" flush. This is a lot easier than taking the nozzle off the car or fiddling around with a pin. The pin trick is only if you have really clogged it up with wax but then, I use warm/hot water when I wash the car and this helps to loosen up the wax if there is any.
