After nearly 3-1/2 yrs and 34k of trouble free miles, the S inexplicably stopped 'spraying' out of the drivers's side nozzle. Nothing was done w/ the car, the passenger side is fine. Quick check of the hose after the 'y' does not suggest any cloggs. When I get the chance I'll take a closer look....any thoughts?
There's plenty of fluid in the reservoir, car hasn't been waxed, nozzle appears fine.
With all the mechanical things that could go 'wrong', this is so minor but odd!

 

This has happened to me a couple of times. In my case, the fluid dried in the tube creating a plug. It cleared itself after a few spray attempts.

 

yea that happened to me too once, i just held the sprayer and blasted out all the crap...took me about 15-20 seconds

 

with you both.

 

did you recently wax your car - take a needle and clear the valve

 

i actually had some kind of small pebble or possible built up residue in my passenger side one recently.

the easiest way to clean it if blasting doesn't work....

simply pull the hose off the bottom of the nozzle from under the hood, and then pop the nozzle out. you'll see a little tab-like thing on the front/back of the nozzle holder on the under side of the hood. just push it in and the nozzle pops right out.

then you can take a needle or something and poke it through the tiny hole in the middle (no you wont hurt anything) that's located inbetween that little metal section. once you have it cleared out, clean the nozzle, and you should be able to easily blow air through one end or the other.

 

Neither nozzle would work on my 04. It wouldn't pass State inspection. The master tech took the two nozzles off of the hood and cleared them. Since I never drive in the rain, he said the problem was "disuse."

 

Thanks fellas,
I do rarely use mine as well in rain, but we're now into bug splat season and it helps. Will try the remedies suggested.
Happy miles and smiles!

 

I'll have to try this on my Integra since that's supposed to be my wet weather car!!! Even though the S has more tread and working nozzles!

 

the timing of this thread is insanely bizarre....

this just started happening on my car on saturday.....driver side - nothing, nada, zilch, zero.

passenger side is perfectly fine.

weird....
