windshield washer jets not working
2007 grand cherokee. the washer jets spray at very lower pressure. they dont even reach the winshield. its more like they dribble out. the right one is better but the left one is real bad. it has fluid.
whats causing it? do the actually jets need to be replaced? i need to remove the headliner to get a better look and have not messed with it yet.
anyone done this fix?

Have not had this problem with my grands, but have had it in my work trucks. Sand and gravel made it into the washer fluid tank, and then into the outlet jets. Ended up taking the tank and cleaning it out, and disconnecting the soft piping that goes into the back of the sprayer. Fill the tank wit water and ran the pump till it used up the water ( making sure all the sand was gone from the system) then found a small wire and gently pushed it thru the sprayer from the outside to the inlet side and got the sand that was blocking the liquid out.
It worked for me.

Have you checked for gunk in the washer bottle? Mine had some gunky stuff in it and did the same. Emptied the tank out to get the gunk out then refilled it with water. Took the air tank and used the sprayer attachment to blow high pressure air into the jet while holding my finger over the other one to blow the gunk back into the bottle. Fill it up with water and get the gunk out again. Repeat until if flows free if the first time shows improvement.
