Found an easy way to do it from outside the car, that worked great. Grabbed what remained of the nozzle with some pliers and crushed it. That left the base in the hole, and I was able to use a small screw driver to release the clips from the top of the hood and pull it up out of the top of the hood with the hose still attached. Pulled off the hose from the old nozzle, and put the new one on the hose. Snapped the new nozzle into the hole and Voila!. Took less than 5 minutes this way!
You can use a safety pin to do it.
It is nearly impossible to get at from the underside of the hood. It is a pop-in fitting, with wings that spread out one it pops into place. Your best bet is to slide something under the head of the nozzle, something thin like a credit card or a store card, simultanously from the left and right side and try to squeeze the wings that hold it in place so that you can pop it out from the top side of the hood. Once you succeed, you should pull out a bit of the hose and then you can pull the nozzle out of the hose. Press the new nozzle into the hose, and pop the nozzle back in place.
use small bristle wire brush to unclog spray nozzle
Unless you have lost the nozzle there is no reason to ever replace it. It is probably stopped up. Take a needle and unstop it.
put a needle in the nozzle hole and point it in the direction you want it to spray
The nozzles pop in and out easily if you twist and slide them around.
On the inside of the hood disconnect the washer hose from the nozzle, and squeeze the plastic under it together. Then push it up it should come out pretty easy.
To replace the window washer reservoir, you must first locate the reservoir under the hood, usually along the side fender area. (You can follow the rubber hose that is attached to the spray nozzle down to your reservoir). Now detach the two wires connected to the little pump motor inside the reservoir, and any bolts securing the reservoir to your car. You may need to look for the bolts. Take your time, figure out how the thing is secured, and get er out of there. If the thing is buried, you may have to remove another part to get to the reservoir. If this is the case, take your time (maybe take a picture), keep track of your nuts and bolts, and keep with it. Good Luck
First listen to see if the pump located in the windshield washer reservoir is actually working. If it is not running, check the fuse and wiring. If there is power to the pump and it will not work the pump is defective and needs replacing. If the pump is working, then check to make sure the hoses running to the windshield spay nozzles are connected and not broken. If they are check the nozzle orifice to make sure no wax has accumulated. Clean out the orifice with a small straight pin or needle.
Normally you can stick a safety (or other stout) pin that fits in the nozzle and move it that way. Most all nozzles are adjusted this way. Trial and error.
It is very easy ... Open the hood ... there is a long cover over the washer fluid tubing that connects to the nozzle .. so you have to take this cover off ... separate nozzel from tube . Insert new nozzle from outside of car . connect to tubing .. replace panel/cover and you are done !!!
You don't. I had this problem on my 2002 Envoy and there was no way to clear the blockage. I tried putting the nozzle in warm soapy water and shaking it to remove the blockage, but that didn't work. I tried soaking it in alcohol and shaking it to remove the bllockage, but that didn't work. Finally I took a paper clip and worked it around inside the nozzle. No luck. Everything I did made it worse. You have to replace the nozzle.
