Low Pressure in Window Washer Fluid Nossle

Did anyone have any experience with window washer fluid being sprayed with low pressure. I am thinking that the motor might be going out, or my line could be clogged somewhere. Anybody has any other ideas in regard to this matter?

I'd attribute it more towards debris in the line than the motor going.

What would be the best way to pressure purge the line, any ideas?

can't you just look under the hood, find where the tubes run, see if there's a way to disconnect it from the reservoir and suck?

you probably have something stuck in the nozzle. your owners manual will tell you to poke it with a pin.

The problem is that both of the nozzles (4 holes) are giving out spay under low pressure. The only good thing a pin or needle will be good for, is adjusting the position where the nozzle will spay the fluid onto the windshield.

It's not under much pressure at all, and it's just wiper fluid anyway. There should be a T or Y in the tube near the firewall. Disconnect it there.

I did see the split on the passenger side of the car, will have to put the compressor to good use.

It's been pretty cold in Chicago, but not that cold. Plus the fluid didn't look thick when is was on the hood, because that's as far as it wood spay.
