Default Washer jets not working

My washer jets seem to be dying. It started with water only coming out of one nozzle on the passenger side, now no water from either. I'm getting nothing out of the lights jets, but still getting a steady jet out of the drivers side nozzle. The pump is whirring so don't think its electrical.

I've topped up the washer fluid, using a 80-20% mix of water to washer fluid, it was already pretty full. I've tried sticking a pin down the nozzle to see if there was a blockage but that made no difference.

Anyone had this before?

Do a search on here for one way or non-return valves. They are just by each washer jet under the bonnet and can dry out, so may need to be replaced

First thing is there are two pumps . One for headlight washers ( Which most people disable ) and one for windscreen.

The windscreen one does wear out , and the Honda part is expensive stupidly so , but you can use an alternative . The entire resoviour and it's 2 pumps are buried inside the wheel arch and you need to take pretty much all of the arch liner out to get to them.

Often if you can hear the pump whirring, it is either a stuck one way valve in the line or where the pipe route hinges up to the bonnet a crease will form , do they work with the bonnet lifted if so it's a crease in the pipe.

I was assuming the OP would do a search chippo . Just unplug the line by the bonnet hinge and fire the washers to see if you have water pressure (two person job unless you want the engine bay washed). If you have, either the one way valves or jets are the likely problem
