Winshield Washers

I have a 03 Maxima. When I need to spray the winshield the fluid that squirts out barely reaches the midway point. It seems really weak. Is everyone elses like this or is it just mine. Thanks.

Make sure your hoses aren't pinched. You can take a straight pin and clear any clogs and also aim the nozzles somewhat.

Front strut tower brace. Sometimes it pinches the washer line when you close the hood.

No front strut tower brace. I will double check the hoses and nozzle.

If you don't find anything, take it to the dealer. They should be able to trouble shoot it. Maybe the pump is bad??

On some cars (not sure about Nissan) you can 'aim' the nozzle(s) by carefully inserting a pin in the hole and gently moving it a bit.
