Driverside washer nozzle brokey

I did my "research" and thought the Stillen FSTB would be the best option since it wasn't supposed to cutoff the washer nozzle spray. But, that's happened. Any ideas what I can do short of just pulling the FSTB off?

Thanks.

Are you sure it is the FSTB? It is funny, but I've had the Courtesy FSTB on my Max for some time and, just about two weeks ago, the driver's side nozzle stopped working. I looked under the hood and it doesn't really look like the FSTB is cutting it off...just stopped working. Anyway...just bumping this up for kicks.

I had that happen with my FTSB. I just pulled the hose out from under the hood insulation and boingo! Fixed. FTSB was pinching it once closed. Test: Squirt with hood partially open.

Can you tell me a bit more what you mean when you say pulled the hose out from under the hood insulation? Did you put it back or leave it out? Thanks for your help.

Re: Driverside washer nozzle brokey

Yup, I had the same problem. I didn't take the whole hose out from under the insullation though. I trimmed away some of the insullation where the FSTB was touching. Sometimes the drivers side spray isn't as strong as the passengers side, though. So maybe I'll do you what you did, 2kSeattleMax.
