Default Windshield Sprayers

Is it common that these get clogged? Mine arent spraying at all but I hear the motor turning. I took the hoses off and it sprays but a little weak but when I put the hoses back on it doesnt spray. So I tried poking them with a needle in case something is clogging it and still no avail. I thought it could be midew buildup so I poured about 1/4 cup of bleach into the resevoir and took the hoses off and put them in the resevoir so it could circulate for a minute or so. But still doesnt squirt.

So do the sprayers get clogged all the time? First for mine.

They can get clogged from time to time. If you have access to an air compressor just hook up a blower, put it on the end of the hose leading to the spray nozzles and blow out the obstruction. That always works for me.

The sprayers that clip into the hood cost about 10$ at Auto Zone. I'd say do that if you're up to it.

you said yourself that even after you take the hoses off you arent getting any pressure so you already know its not a problem with the sprayers. no pressure before the sprayers means no pressure after the sprayers. sounds more like a pump issue.
