The black plastic part that windshield washer hose Problem with the 2005 Dodge Durango The black plastic part that windshield washer hose attaches to has broken off the hood mounted nozzle on 2005 Dodge Durango. I'm in a wheelchair and can't see if I need to replace the black plastic hose attach part or if I have to replace the whole nozzle assembly. How do they attach to one another or how do I remove the nozzle (actually, how do I tell my daughter how to do it, ha).

Broken at the hood?DO NOT use Ford parts.Best repair is ......go to a "upull parts lot" this is where you remove the car parts yourself,find an older Hyundai Accent 2003 2004 style and pull the windshield washer hood squirters and hoses off the hood.They will fit right on your 2010 Focus hood.Bonus.... they will never break apart like the plastic Ford ones.Just attach the Hyundai rubber hose onto your plastic feed line on your Focus on the passenger side.

Needle nose, make sure that the washer nozzle itself has not broken off. if there is a hard piece of plastic inside of the rubber hose you will need to replace the washer nozzle.

the nozzles just snap in from the top.... you first pop the cover at the pivot point of the wiper arm to access the nut. remove said nut. remove the wiper arms (a puller is very useful to avoid damage) , then Remove the air inlet grille panel (held in with pushpins and small 1/4in or 9/32in bolts. disconnect the hoses and squeeze the two tabs that hold them in. because they snap in from the top, i have seen people crush and brake their old nozzles with needle nose pliers. pull the hose through the hole and attach it to the new nozzle...... NOT the recommended procedure, rent or buy a puller that looks like a small two jaw gear puller to save yourself a big headache (mine was only $45). good luck

Have a look where it comes out of. Either hose has come off the nozzle or plastic nozzle is broken

There is a seperate tank.

your local parts houses should have them. they make universal ones very reasonable ,they also come with instructions. they should cost around $5 or so.

First thing to do is make sure it is full of washer fluid. I know, who would not check that? You would be surprised. Ok, now we know it is full so why is it not working? Did you check the fuse. Normally you can hear it try to work by having the hood open while you stand there and have someone try it. It is full and fuse is good and it is trying to pump then either the pump is working but not really pumping anything or what I suspect is more likely is that the spray nozzles are clogged with wax. This is very common and I have seen it time and time again. Remove one of the rubber hoses from a spray nozzle and see if it it pumping out fluid. If it is not, then the pump is bad and must be replaced. It it is pumping fluid then the nozzles are clogged. Use a fine needle to clean out the nozzles. You may have to take the nozzle off in order to clean it throughly. More than likely once you probe inside the nozzles with the needle they will start working. If you end up having to remove the nozzles, and they are metal, which they normally are, you can place them in a pan of boiling water. This will for sure clean them out. The hot water will soften the wax and make it easy to pick and blow out. Have a great 2010, and good luck getting your washer fixed.

Check the hose from the container to the wipers and see if it came disconnected from either place and check for a broken or cracked hose.

1. Open the hood of the vehicle for clipped nozzles or nozzles with retaining screws that are attached to the hood. Locate the nozzles and hoses attached to the hood. Some vehicles may require removing an insulated panel that is retained by plastic clips. Pry the clips out and remove the panel (if applicable).
   
2. Note the way the nozzle is attached to the underside of the hood. Clip-on nozzles will either be attached by a single clip on one side of the nozzle and a retaining anchor on the other end. Other clip-on nozzles may have two retaining clips that need to be squeezed together (with needle-nose pliers, if necessary). Press the clip or clips inward towards the nozzle and it will pop out of the hole in the hood. If the nozzle is retained by screws, simply unscrew them with the screwdriver. If there are hose clips holding the hose to the hood, unfasten the clips (by hand) to allow more movement in the hose-to-clip assembly.
   

check the fuse for the washer pump first.
