Weak window washer sprayers

[Brian3676]

Just got a 08 4runner limited with V8.
I noticed that when I use my windsheild sprayers, they are hardly powerful enough to even make it to the windshield. Anyone had this, maybe it's jump my pump, but a 08 with 80k miles seems awfully quick to be replacing my washer pump already. The resevior is completly full.

Try to clean the nozzles with a pin.

Same thing happened to my 03. Turned out that a mommy squirrel and her babies had made a home in my engine compartment and loved the liquid filled rubber hose.
Follow the lines while someone else hits the squirt, keep an eye out for leaks.
Hope this helps.

Check for wax build up around the squirters. If so clean with windex and a toothbrush. Works like a charm.

Awesome. I'll try all that today. Thanks!

I've been meaning to ask this for a long time. Are the nozzles supposed to spray or are supposed to produce a stream like mine do?

Its a stream the squirters cause to fan out. Its not atomized like a spray.

Wow, aparently all 6 sprayers got clogged evenly haha, I could see a few clogged and other ok, what threw me off is how they all sucked evenly. Cleaned them out and they spray like new!:clap2:
