Windshield Washer Suddenly Got Very Weak
It had been working fine. My first thought was low fluid...but with just a few ounces it was overflowing. The motor works. Both jets are producing the same level of force so I think it is unlikely both clogged at exactly the same time to exactly the same degree.
Could it be a blockage? Gould the pump have become weak? How would either be fixed?

It might be the fill tube not properly seated into the reservoir. The two are held together with only like an o-ring between them so over time it can slip out.

Don't know what the correlation is between the sprayers not working right and the fill tube being loose but that solved my problem.
I didn't wax recently...but the brake dust with the new Hawk Street Race pads is heavy. I g
The hose to the nozzles looks like it can be disconnected to test.. Otherwise, it looks like it is necessary to pull the fender liner to inspect the reservoir and pump.
My guess is the fill overflowed with a few ounces because it was clogged somehow. Maybe the reservoir is empty but the fill wasn't working. Not sure how it could have gotten clogged. And that is still removing the fender liner, which undoubtedly will need new clips as the 12 year old plastic ones seem to break when removed.
