Good day folks. Wondering why I have a nice spray pattern on passenger windshield washer nozzle and not on driver side. Wondering if the washer pump is getting weak.
2011 Ford Focus washer nozzle issue

It is likely that some debris (or wax) has lodged on the driver side nozzle tip. Try cleaning it out with the tip of a straight pin or a fine sewing needle, but exercise caution to prevent enlargement of the orifice size.
If the spray pressure appears to be weak on the driver side, perhaps a kink developed in that part of the washer fluid delivery tubing.

there could be a valve between both nozzles that's stuck. it'll look like just a T-piece but isn't.
I took the nozzle out with coworker while ago when it was warm. Nothing it it. The rubber line we removed and blew compressed air thru. Nothing in there. Removed washer pump and drained reservoir. Nozzle is cheap, I’ll talk to my ford specialist/indy mechanic on top of my hill. Don’t make sense if you got psi on one side and none other side.
Does the rubber tubing go to a plastic "Tee" connection that feeds the fluid to each of the respective nozzles? If so, swap the driver's side and passenger side downstream rubber tubing at the "Tee" and test the spray again. If the condition remains the same, the problem is in the driver's side nozzle or downstream tubing. If it flips to the opposite side, the problem is in the "Tee".I took the nozzle out with coworker while ago when it was warm. Nothing it it. The rubber line we removed and blew compressed air thru.

I’ll have to remember to tell my Indy mechanic that. Too darn cold to work outside for long. Thanks
