Clogged washer sprayer. HELP

Hello, I have a 2003 corolla. The washer sprayers are clogged. I tried cleaning them out with hot water, removed them, cleaned them with a pin, they are still messed up.

Any idea what these are called and where I can order new ones? I don't want to have to go to the dealership.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

Kevin

I've seen them at autozone as well, although I think they are the stream kind rather than the mist kind.

Do you use water during the summer? That could slowly build up deposits...

nothing beats OEM for fitment and quality, not in this case

True, when I bought my 03 new within a month my sprayers blocked up, Toyota cleaned out the tank under warranty but didn't blow the hoses out, and a few days later it blocked up again with them trying to blame me with the washer fluid I used, only thing was I used their brand Well they then purged my complete system and replaced the sprayer heads on the hood, while doing this they over tightened the sprayer heads and crimped my hood, they had to repair that, it's been working fine ever since!

Oh I did have to replace my washer pump last year!

I bought the ones at consumer auto parts and had to cut my hood apart with metal shears, meaning cut out like a 1" square of the metal to get access to get these things in. They do work good though. Just don't look at the butchery under the hood

sounds like quite the journey just to get your sprayers working again

good to hear they came through eventually

dunno why you just didn't buy the OEM sprayers and replace them, but oh well, as long as they work then I guess not a biggie.
