Question Passenger windshield washer nozzle? no water.

My passenger washe nozzle does not dispence water to the windhield possibly clogged. Is there any electronics to this little device? There are two wires going to it and i am wondering if there is some odd german electrical thin going on there? The driver side works fine.

Can I just replace both of them. <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

Those wires are for a heating element. You can CAREFULLY try to clean the two holes in the jets with a fine pin.

If cleaning the nozzle doesn't work... (this is from about 8 years ago, so may be recalled wrong...):

There's a check (one-way) valve in the line for each nozzle. It can get clogged. Look at the underside of the hood, and trace the lines from the washers back. IIRC, the one on the passenger's side is a "tee" fitting. Take the line loose from under the nozzle (or from the nozzle side of the tee), see if it passes water (!) then. If not, likely your check valve in the tee is clogged.
Again from memory, the little hose clamps are one-use pieces of ****e that have to be cut off, so have a couple of replacements handy...

I wasted an hour or so trying to clean out the check valves with various solvents to no avail. I think the check element was actually swollen into the body of the tee. Paragon or Zim's likely stocks the replacements for not too many $$.

nice one, mine on the passenger side also. I didn't know there was a valve in it. Good thing to check if I don't miss ANOTHER plane home.
