Windshield washer is only spraying from driver side?
When I push the button for my windshield washer fluid, I only get the drivers side that will spray fluid. My truck was in the garage all night so I don't believe it would be frozen, especially when the drivers side works. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated? Not sure it there are 2 separate pumps for the different sides or if the hose might be pinched or disconnected somehow? Could it be an electrical problem because I have been having electrical issues as of late.
It could be something as simple as the nozzle needing to be replaced. Had this issue when I bought my truck and I checked the hoses and the water source, no go. Checked the nozzles after all of that, works like a charm now.

It could be something as simple as foreign material blocking the nozzle. I had the same issue, and bought a replacement. They are spendy... Just for the hell of it, I reverse blew on the nozzle and a chunk of crap blew out. Tried it and it worked like new. Not too much to be wrong with a nozzle other than a crack.

Take a sewing needle or piece of stainless fishing leader wire and stick it in the washer nozzle's hole to clean it out first. It's usually just dirt or wax that has gotten stuck in there. Lift the wipers up off the windshield glass so they don't drag across dry glass, and hit the washer button a few times after you clean it out. You can also aim the nozzle with a sewing needle if you need to re-aim it. Oh, and there's just one washer pump, it's attached to your washer fluid reservoir...

Mine did this on the drive in today on the passenger side. I looked at it real quick when I stopped for gas and it didn't seem like anything was blocking it. Probably frozen internally. I bet it'll work when I leave work.
