So all of a sudden I've lost the pressure or spray coming from the driver side windshield washer nozzle. I thought it was a bad pump, so I replaced it and used compressed air to blow any clogs or obstructions out of all the tubing. After doing all this, it still doesn't seem like the driver side has enough pressure. Washer fluid does come out, but its more of a dribble then a spray. The passenger side is unaffected, good spray and reach. I've found things pointing to a bad ground to the pump. I want to see if anyone's had experience and if I should check the ground, assuming a bad ground would reduce the pump efficiency and result in good pressure to the passenger which is closest to the pump, but bad pressure to the driver side. Let me know if anyone's had any similar experience, thanks.

the spray tips are clogged up. find a new set. they may be part of the wiper arm, not 100% sure on a GP.
I know for a fact that the lower spray nozzle on the arm is replaceable. It just clips onto the metal arm. I need one for my drivers side currently and just had it off 2 days ago to try and fix it, lol... As far as the top one goes, not sure if it's replaceable or not. Never really looked. Of course this is assuming you have a 97-03 GP.

I've unclogged those things numerous times at work, if you sprayed compressed air in the normal direction fluid normally goes, it won't do anything. You need to put the tip of the blow bun into the spray nozzle and spray backwards, I prefer to use water from a garden hose because air alone may not carry all of the contaminants out of the line. They almost never clog unless there's crap in the washer fluid bottle.
