How To Fix A Clogged Windshield Washer Spray Nozzle-Easy Tutorial

In this video, I show you how to fix a clogged windshield washer spray nozzle easily. If your windshield washer fluid is not coming out of the spray nozzle or your nozzle is giving you a weird spray pattern, then this is the video for you. You can fix it really easily using a few different tools, but I like to use a paperclip because it can easily be bent into the shape that you need and it doesn't have a pointy end, so it has less of a risk of causing any damage to the windshield washer nozzle or the tube that runs the washer fluid to the nozzle.

I can't thank u enough for ur short and sweet video! It literally just saved my life while travelling the snowy, slushy and muddy roads in Colorado alone. Stopped at a Valero right past Red Rocks, and watched ur video. I didnt have a paper clip on me, but the cashier was nice enough to give me TWO! Didn't think mine was going to work as they looked corroded (2006 Kia Sorrento) But it did, and I can't thank u enough! This girl loves to be able to fix things on her own, so I wasn't the damsel in distress I thought I was going to be. Much Love from Snowy Colorado!!💜🌻💜

I have simply partially filled my reservoir with vinegar. Then ran it periodically. The acid ate the clog and the system returned to normal after several days. Good if you have some flow and time to let it do it's thing

[@Boomie0419]

Did you just dumped vinegar in the reservoir straight up or was it makes or diluted with water and what kind of vinegar do you use I notice sometimes one will spray and not the other and now neither one of them sprays and I kind of thought it was the windshield company maybe not hooking it up but, there is a little hose coming out of my passenger fender going towards the windshield so maybe they didn't mess it up

[@bryanmyers9977]

@@Boomie0419 I just used normal vinegar that you would find at any grocery store. Usually in the salad dressing Isle in a gallon sized container (so not the expensive stuff).
I later found out that you can buy really industrial strength vinegar... strong enough to take the rust off an engine. What I used was not nearly that strong and I don't think I would risk putting the strong stuff in the system.

Vinegar pits glass.

[@rogerhislip5269]

I gave my nozzles at light shot of compressed air each way and it works like new

[@Boomie0419]

Very informative to a point I was really hoping you were going to take it apart and show us how to get the jet out of there but you didn't and that's okay but the wind is making a difficult to hear and understand you but again I do greatly appreciate the video have a nice day

[@joyfulfrazier2996]

This worked for me today. Thank you!!!!

[@markmacpherson90]

Thanks. Problem now solved

[@almaguevara4583]

Hope it’ll work; going to try it tomorrow. Excellent video!

[@myst1406]

i was 700th like

[@asurasgamingwrath1977]

Trying today. Will keep you posted sir.

[@patrickobrien5212]

You never posted....

[@user-up7pe8hy8b]

Thank you for your help !!! I think this video in laymen's terms helped a bunch .

[@allenh7835]

If you soak it in anything, soak it in vinegar. Water is a waste of time.

[@katiebird53]

Wish you had shown how to remove the cowl covering the access to the hose connection. That is what I need to see. I am sure I will break some connector if I don't know how to do it correctly. Pin cleaning didn't work. So no spray/water on driver side at all, so I think the hose has come off that sprayhead.

[@Boomie0419]

On mine it's a 2014 Sonata there was three clips they look like screws but they're actually just popped in there. But I think you have to remove the windshield wipers also so I will be scouring TH-cam to try to find that video too

[@johnchojo]

You'll have to remove the wipers gently to remove that front cover that hides the line.

[@sj122s]

If a paper clip is to large to go into the sprayer hole, use a sewing needle. Rotate the needle to help break apart the debris stuck inside.

[@fasjackson3588]

he mentions that at the very start when he suggest a sewing needle or paper clip depending on what works best for different vehicles

[@myfirst7988]

Thanks bro😀

[@TMCSFCA]

How do you remove the plastic housing in order to access the nozzles and the tubing?!?

[@madb9422]

Thx.

[@jondnz]

My problem is, I can't even see the nozzle hole where the water should be coming out to hit the window. It's like that whole area has some kind of rubber plug right over it that I can't seem to move. Water does come out but it's not really going where I want it to go or it just seems to piddle out and flood around the nozzle area. Toyota Wish

[@joecoss5787]

Pretty straight forward. Didn't mention blowing air into the washer nozzle to push an obstruction back through the line and, hopefully, into the reservoir where it came from. Something that doesn't work?

[@1smae100]

I just used a spray can and picked the hole with needle still nothing comes out

[@fasjackson3588]

Then the line inside the cowling is off or clogged, check the other end at the resevoir.

[@RV-ds5uf]

That wind noise sux!!

[@Dee-pj5zn]

Unfortunately, this did not fix my problem, it actually made it worse.

[@jamiev7165]

Did you try inserting the paper clip only, or did you remove the nozzle and clean it?

[@Dee-pj5zn]

@@jamiev7165 I only tried tried the paper clip. I’m going to try using hot water through the rubber hose and /or vinegar and baking soda to break up the dirt that’s blocking the hose.

[@BricoTurbine]

Wind sound!!. You could have recorded a voiceover

[@erwinu688]

So 75K people sat through the windy ass noise? wtf dude

[@williambrown8654]
