Spray jet not working

[Glamdring70]

Our local doughnut attraction/tourist trap, Voodoo doughnuts, are over $20 a dozen. Their specialty is the pre-arranged Voodoo Dozen, that's $30. More "normal" doughnut shops or Krispy Kreme are $16/doz. There are no Dunkin' in Oregon. This is a DIY level problem.

A box of donuts can help this happen...

Our Ford dealer brings in fresh baked cookies/rolls for the customer waiting room every day...and the techs also graze them...so bribing them with donuts is pointless. It also takes 3-4 weeks to get an appointment; they shouldn't need to be bribed if the customer is also waiting 3-4 weeks just to have their vehicle seen.

I tried Voodoo donuts the last time I was at the Denver airport. Like everything there's better and worse.
This place was pretty good, these donuts will make your teeth hurt, so rich.

For the washer jets see if you can work a bristle from a stiff nylon brush into the jet. I do that for my outdoor misters when they start to dribble and it corrects them

I always keep a torch tip cleaner in my tool box, may work for this and you may be surprised how many uses you can find for it.

Ok ... finally had my BS one year and something isn't working, but it's probably a simple fix ... I hope!
*MY fluid reservoir was empty prior to having 3 days of a hard freeze here in San Antonio, Texas area. Yesterday we were in the 60s so I took the opportunity to fill my fluid reservoir. The rear is 100% functional, the front passenger's side is barely squirting water ... but the driver's side isn't squirting at all. Oh ... the pump motor sounds like it is working fine. *IDEAS, ADVICE for self diagnosis and a DIY fix??? Thanks!

See my post on this. My bet is both your passenger and driver's side spray jets are split down the middle from the freeze. If you open your hood, and have someone activate the sprayer from inside the car, I'll bet 99% that it's spraying all over inside your engine compartment.

Fixed. It was cracked but only on one side and luckily maybe only 1 inch from the where the hose connects ... was an easy fix. Thanks!

Was the hose cracked, or the sprayer?
Which side was bad?
If you had to get a part, what was the part #?
Now that it's warmed up a bit, I'm going to fix mine

On the driver's side ... the hose itself was cracked about 1 inch from the sprayer. I made a clean cut on the hose and inserted a slightly smaller diameter hose inside it. No purchasing of parts needed ... got lucky.

So there ended up being nothing wrong w/the passenger side then?
Presumably a pressure loss from the cracked hose on the driver's side?

Correct

Interesting. I may swap my sprayers side to side and see if the problem moves. Maybe my driver side is over-spraying. Thanks for following up. Threads are much better when someone does that.
