Washer nozzles on hood are not spraying - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Like I said, the driver side nozzle barely does anything while the passenger side nozzle is spraying up and over the car. It just started doing this after I had a new wiper fluid tank installed.

Could there be gunk up in the nozzle causing some form of overspray in the other? This is very irritating. I got a shower the other day when I was driving with the sunroof open.

check to see if the hose itself is partially blocked too, but it does sound more like it's the actual squairter that's blocked up and affecting hte pressure

Thanks, but I can't seem to get up under the heat shield thing. There are clip like things holding it up in place and I can't seem to undo them. Is there some special tool I need to get them off.

Take a regular sewing needle and put it into the holes. Re-direct the one spraying over the car. Try to "unclog" the ones not spraying. Maybe your hose came off the sprayer itself making the spray go under the hood, Possibly all over the engine. This has happened to mine a few times.

I however, Got the light up the night blue led washer sprayers installed. Looks pretty nice if you have an underbody kit. I had that all setup and decided to just let them be chrome and not light up. I also took off the underbody kit aswell. I got the el lightup brake and gas pedals and don't have them light up anymore also. Subtleties are what i'm after now. It looks good all color matching with my interior setup.

See if maybe a new pair might help you as they aren't too exspensive for the lightup ones I grabbed off ebay.

Good luck fixing your problem. I still think it's just a pinprick away to being fixed.
