[s-cars] Windshield Washers not spraying? (Yes there is fluid)

[Marc Gorelick]

Cody:

I just had the same problem with my UrS4. At first, all 4 washer nozzles 
worked great. Then, one by one they stopped working over the period of 
about a week.

I finally started taking the hoses apart one by one starting from the one 
nearest the washer bottle. Fluid came out full force, so I disconnected 
hoses one by one until I got to the nozzles themselves. Turns out that some 
sort of gunk (salt? dirt? who knows) had clogged the sprayer nozzles 
themselves. A bit of cleaning out using a straight pin was all that was 
required to get them all working again...of course then you have to use the 
pin to re-aim them, too.
