I noticed recently that the windshield squirters don’t seem to be working properly. Truck is 2 yrs old this month. I seem to remember that the fluid hit the glass about half way up, now it seems anemic and only hits about a quarter of the way up, and as a result the windshield doesn’t clear as well. Confirmed that the reservoir is full. The windshield was replaced about 2 months ago, but i can't imagine how that could be a factor. Is there a filter on the pickup tube that could be partially blocked? Other than oil changes the hood has not been opened, but could a hose be partially crimped?

 

Time to open the hod and have a look.

 

Where are you located at? If it is below freezing there, I would look at the type of washer fluid you have in the tank. Is it rated for below freezing temps?

 

No **** sherlock. What do i look at?

 

virginia, which freezes, but at the time the temp was low 50’s.

 

Your fluid reservoir. Open the top, look inside. Is it frozen? Any leaks anywhere?

 

You’re not by chance using a fluid with some sort of additive, like RainX or some sort of bug wash? Have heard those plugging up systems on other makes/models. Would maybe explain the decrease in flow rate.

 

Get fresh real windshield antifreeze. Suck out the water or whatever is in there. Replace same. For all you know what you have in there is NOTHING!

If you don't know how to fill up the reservoir, it's the blue cap under the hood.

 

See where the water sprays out. could be clogged right there.

 

Disconnect the rubber feed line and blow compressed air thru it.
