Default Windshield nozzle not working...
My passenger side washer nozzle isn't working, any idea regarding where the hose runs to check to see if it's cracked?

Does the driver side work? The line runs from a T off the driver side nozzle directly to the passenger side. If the driver side works and passenger doesn't, the nozzle is probably clogged.

Yep, the drivers side works. Any way to try to unclog it?

Sorry i can't help but maybe you can help me out. I had the wiper cowl off and when i put everthing back the passenger plastic hose doesn't reach the passenger nozzle. Is there two hoses that connect to the passenger side? It looks like i am missing another hose but i need to be sure something aint broken. Can you see if its one line that goes off the driver side t" or two lines after the t" on the driver side?

It's only one. A single line goes from the reservoir pump to a T fitting on the driver side nozzle. Then a single line goes from that T to the passenger nozzle. You're not trying to route the plastic line under the metal cowl, are you? It should lay on top of it.

No, am running it how it should but for some odd reason its short. I don't recall putting aside any other piece. Now, i have to go back and see why its too short when i am sure i disconnected the same hose that went on there with no problem in reaching the nozzle. I'll just have to take it apart again.

Bringing this back up.
Found my drivers side line disconnected and in the engine bay.

How do I route it into the cowling area? The plastic cowl is sealed to the metal cowl with foam.

one of the best mods for the windshield nozzle is to remove the factory stock nozzles and replace them with 400 horsepower nitrous jets.
I did this mod, but I ran the upgraded nozzles into my intake manifold.
