get a pin and jam it in the hole and move it round a bit, then take it out and see if it squirts more water out than before lol

try ^ first

there should also be a filter down at the pump. found at the bottom of the resevoir in your passenger inner guard. to make it easy for you, pull the wheel off and take out the trim inside the guard, and you should see it.. from there (im pretty sure it'd be same as BA-F's, correct me if im wrong) i think its just wedged into the hole in the resevoir.pull that out and the water will spill out. thats normal. pull off the rubber filter bit covering the pumps inlet and clean it out

pull the motor out of the washer bottle and clean the screen. plug the washer motor in and leave the tubing off and test, if that works, add the tubing and disconnect further up the line. test again. keep working further and further up the line to find where its blocked. if its the water jets themselves, use a pin in the hole to clean them. can also lever them into new position this way for better aim at the glass.
