Default Windshield Nozzle

I replaced the passanger side nozzle due to a weak flow, but it is still barely spraying. What is my next step in fixing this?

maybe it's clogged? try to clean the lines and see if that doesn't change anything

I fought this myself, my nozzle was clogged and I used a piece of wire to clear it. I also had a leak under the windshield cowl, get a bright flashlight and look through the mesh while someone sprays and make sure it doesn't leak.

Are both nozzles weak?

If so check the screen on the bottom of the pump. If not, put the hooked up nozzle in a cup of water and use a vacuum pump near the washer fluid tank to suck the obstruction backwards through the system.

No the drivers side nozzle works perfectly, just the passanger side one and i just replaced it so it has to be something leaking or in the line.

Ya it sound like a leak in the wash line after the first nozzle.
