Windshield washer nozzle broke, please help...

Hey guys,

On the way to work this morning I noticed that the drivers side windshield washer nozzle has quit working on me. Anyone know what the problem is? I haven't had the time yet to look at it, and I had no luck with the search function for this one. Thanks for the help!!

Did you recently install a FSTB? A lot of people have had problems with their washer fluid lines getting pinched. (including me )

No, the only thing I have installed is CAI. I guess I'll check for pinched lines.

Your intake won't be the cause. I would check the lines and the nozzle it self.

I will probably check it out later. Hopefully it will be a quick fix!

Have you used any kind of wax/polish around the area? What kind of weather have you been having? Maybe some buildup (salt, etc) just clogging the nozzle itself? Have you tried a fine needle or pin to 'clean out' the nozzle?

Others have had problems with the washer fluid freezing as well. They sell stuff with anti-freeze in it if this is your problem.
