Windshield Washer Nozzle Clogged

Anyone have a good method to clear a clogged windshield wiper nozzle? I have one of them that barely puts out any fluid. Thanks

I used to have an issue with mine getting clogged by fire ants. haven;t had it with the 04, but on the 99, I pulled the hose off and held on to the front of the nozzle and let the pump and juice push the ants out the other way. If you don't remove the hose, your just pushing whats clogging it back down the line and it will clog again.

I had that problem on my wife's truck, I ended up taking it out and blowing air through it, worked like a champ. You have to take the wiper arms off (very easy, lift the metal tab at the base of the arm, pull wiper straight up) and take the plastic cowling off to get to it. Not hard, if you need help, PM me.

Soon as I have the time, I am going to try the needle first, if that doesn't do it, then I will try the air. If neither of these fix it, then I will do what madhat suggested. Thanks for all the replies.

Take it off. Soak it for a while in Lime Away. Then blow it out with air
