97 Camry. When I pull the lever for wiper fluid to spray on windshield only the left side works. Any suggestions? Is this a common problem? Thanks in advance.

try to clean the jets with a tooth pick

That was fast, thanks. Good idea, I'll give it a go tomorrow when I have some light.

Well I ran out there with a shop light and gently poked it in there and nothing different. Really looking at it, there is nothing on the right side and the left side seems extremely weak. Think maybe it just needs a new pump/motor?

look under the hood where the little rubber tubes go into the jet... the one that doesn't spray might of come off?

Some wires might be loose between the pump and the sprayer. I would check those lines and if there seems to be no noticeable damage, have someone else engage the fluid while you check for leaks anywhere in the lines. If there are none than yeah... you probably need a new pump or just new lines.
