I can't get my windshield sprayers to spray any liquid.
I replaced one because it was completely clogged and couldn't fix it, put more liquid in, blew on the hoses leading to the sprayers and to the reservoir to get any clogs out and also made sure I could hear the pump. Still nothing!

Jerry. You said youcleaned the hoses? Did you also clean the sprayer ports? They maybe clogged. When i had this problem I used my air compressor and blew air through the hose and ports. This solved the problem. Lastly did you check to see if the tube running from the washer tank is not clogged?
Try disconnecting the tubes from the spray head (under the hood). The press spray button, if nothing comes out, you have a bad pump. It liquid is pumped, then you need to clean or replace the spray heads - they are clogged or damaged
The sprayer itself may be attached to the underside of the wiper arm and is removable. Carefully remove the sprayer, disconnect the hose, and turn on the wiper and the washer. It liquid comes out of the hose, the sprayer is clogged. If no liquid comes out, the hose could be clogged, so replace the hose. You need to find the other end at the black plastic manifold that divides the washer flow into the two sprayers. Disconnect the passenger side and blow into in, just in case to unclog it, then try again. If the washer is working for the driver side, that manifold is unclogged.
Soaking the sprayer overnight in vinegar could unclog it., but the sprayer is cheap to buy new.
The rear wiper has its own pump motor. pull the hose from the wiper and have someone engage to see if there is a clog. do the same at the motor. if bo liquid comes out then its the pump. also check fluid level in reservoir as well as a possible secondary reservoir
Windshield washer fluid pump motor has gone bad or the wire leads have corroded, causing no connection. The Windshield washer fluid motor pump is located at the washer fluid canister. Inspect the wire leads and check for 12Volts when turned on. If there is power and the pump does not work, replace the pump.
If it shoots from the pump without lines connected, then there has to be blockage somewhere. You mentioned you blew the lines out, did you blow directly back through nozzles themselves?
