AAK625

Hello everyone, how are you? A problem that plagued my 03 has followed me to the 04; the windshield sprayer. The one on my driver's side has ceased to function. Before it would just spray at an awkward angle, now it doesn't work at all.

What can I do?

Thanks in advance,
Anthony

take the hose off, check for obstruction and blow pressure through the nossle if none is found, it sounds like a clog...

Any special hocus pocus to get the hose off?

It pops right off. I just bought a new one. $12 at the Ford Dealership. I tried cleaning mine, still didnt spray right.

My local dealership wanted somewhere above $75, without labor.

They were quoting you the entire grille assembly; the sprayers snap into these grilles.

Tell them you only need the spray nozzle. They are 12 bucks as texasedition mentioned.

I had to replace the left and right lower windshield grilles, as mine warped from the Texas sun. I kept the two spray nozzles and hoses from the old ones. If they were not packed away (I'm getting ready to move back to Florida for the holidays), I'd send you one.

Heh, coming back to Florida? Why? I have family in Texas, it's nice out there.

The company I work for closed one of its training buildings in Central Florida and relocated us to Dallas (secondary training location). I either took the job, or took unemployment. I have 26 years with this company, so I rented a small apartment in the Dallas area. My house, wife, and college son are still in Central Florida. I will eventually get back to Florida, most likely when I retire.
Texas is alright, but my heart is in Florida. I will settle back there and retire. I only have 7 years left on the morgage.

Sounds good Bucko.

Thanks for the help guys, I'll have a go at it today or tomorrow.
