I would check the fliud resvervior also for sediment in the bottom.
The vehicle is an 08. I would think the vehicle is under factory warranty . 36/36.
You may have a faulty washer pump from the factory.

remove the hose from the washer nozzle and see if a good stream of liquid comes out, if it does the nozzle is plugged, if it doesn't then the hose is kinked somewhere, look for where it goes to nozzle.

SOURCE: need repair manual for wiper assembly...driver

If you've got one wiper that works and the other that doesn't ...check the linkage that connects the two wipers together... it should be in the cowling ... look to see if you can remove the plastic cowl covers and operate the wipers... you may not need to replace anything but a cotter pin and a washer on the linkage!

SOURCE: Wiper fluid comes out only on driver side when

Look at the fluid canister, You will see a hose that leads to the hood and splits to the right and left. The hose that leads to the pass. side could be clogged up or the fluid jet that fluid comes from could be clogged up. Disconnect the hose from the pass side jet, and see if fluid comes out when turning on. If so, then the jet is the problem. These can be bought from a parts store, but will not be OEM. the front and back are controlled with one pump, which I don't think is the problem. The rear may be the same problem, try doing the same as you do for the front. Sometimes the car wash soap you use or wax can build up and block the jet hole up.

Wiper Fluid Reversed Front and Back, Wipers did not

Sounds like someone has had your washer fluid reservior out and placed the wrong line on the wrong pump. You should have 2 seperate pumps. Pull the reservior up and swap the lines from one to the other, then you should be good.

Jeep wrangler wiper fluid will not dispense on front windsheld but will on the rear

Switch is faulty is the first thing comes to my mind. Your spot on tho in your diagnosis, although you may have two pumps and tanks, one for front, one for rear. I would check all my fuses just to be sure, and I would look at all my waster tubes and make sure they are not clogged, check your nozzles too, as sometimes wax can clog them up.

My saturn sc1 1999 stopped spraying washer fluid out of the driver side, the passenger side sprays fine. How can I fix this?

Sounds like the rubber hose broke between the Tee fitting and the spray nozzle. If the nozzles are between the hood and windshield, you may have to remove the wiper arms and the panel under the windshield to get to the hose.

On my 03 chevy cavalier the windshield wiper hose only sprays hard out of the passenger side and kind pours out of the driver. i took a little bit of compressed air to try and clean it but didnt really do...

The driver''s side has either a broken or missing wiper nozzle. the only way you will be able to make it spray evenly is by replacing the nozzle. The problem is that without the nozzle, you will get a high volume of fluid delivered rather than the high pressure you should get if the restriction of the nozzle were there. It is akin to a the spray of a bare garden hose vs. one with an adjustable nozzle.

Wiper fluid does not work on driver-side.

Follow the tube to the wiper to see if it "Tee's" into the main washer fluid line. Unhook the driver's side one and try to blow through it (Don't inhale, Bill!). If it feels stopped up, you can try compressed air.

Lastly, make sure that the "T" is not blocked too. You can hit the squirter with the driver's side unhooked to see if anything comes out. If it does, it is blocked between the "T" and the exit port. Sometimes the exit ports get wax in them. You can use a paperclip or needle to clean it out.

03 Taurus wiper problem

What I would suggest you do is the following:

1) Remove the driver side wiper (arm & blade).
2) Start the car and turn on the wipers.
3) When the passenger wiper is straight up and down .. turn off the car. This leaves the wiper in position.
4) Re-install the drivers side wiper and put it back on so its position is the same as the passenger - making them parallel

Start the car and test
