Windscreen Washers

[Red Sky II]

The driver's side windscreen washer (the squirter thing) stopped working although the passenger side one works fine.

Looking for any suggestions on how to fix it?

Have tried putting a needle into the holes in case there was any blockage (eg from sand or something) but they seemed to be clear - well as clear as the other side was.

Cheers, Al

Hmmmm, sounds like the hose might be blocked furthur down

under the bonnet, pull out the drivers side hose from the washer itself

then test, if no water comes out, it's the hose, if it does comes out the squirter is at fault

the hose is short about 15-20cm long and connects to a T section to the passenger side

easy to replace, you can just get some clear nylon tubing or vacuum tubing to make it work again, happens heaps, most of my cars have blocked up sometime or another
