Windshield Washer Sprayer Problem!!!!

This morning when I went to spray my windshield only 1 of the 2 sprayers was working! The drivers side it just dribbles out but the passengers side works fine. Has anyone had this problem? What do i need to do to fix it?

Did you recently have your car waxed? Usually this happens when wax or something similair gets stuck in there....just have the dealer fix it next time you bring the car in for service

Yes, I just waxed the car last weekend, so probably that's what happened. Is there any way of me fixing rather than bringing it to the dealership?

You can pop them out once you open the hood. You have to squeez them reallllly hard and the will pop out from the top of the hood. Then you can run them under hot water until the wax dissolves. i woudn't suggest using a pin or anything to try and free it up as you might puncture the lining and have to buy a new one. Hope this helps...

The nozzle itself is steel, so if you get a needle, you can just stick it into the opening to unplug it. Just be careful.

You can also try an old stiff toothbrush...
