Washer motor works, but the spray nozzles don't spray. Fluid appears to be getting to the nozzles, as I notice leakage under the hood after I've activated the washer. I've tried cleaning the spray nozzles (with a pin) to no avail. Suggestions? Thanks. Rick

Toothpick.
Metal pin can damage the nozzle. If you don't use them very often, the fluid crystallize in small passage.

Thanks; I'll give that a shot.

This happened to me. The nozzles were disconnected. That is they were not properly clicked into place under the bonnet. Water came out as you say but underneath not on to the screen.

i had this problem too just the other day. It turned out that the host was disconnected from the first nozzle and filled up the tray that is connected to the underside of the bonnet near the windscreen.

It was an easy fix. Just took the two screws out at either side of the tray, and the tray unclipped by releaseing the "tags" at the top. Then i could just pull out the nozzles and see the disconnected hose. Plugged it back in a voila.. spray again.
