Hi all !
I've searched for ever and I've went down that rabbit hole...
So I'm posting this with pic of my wife's 2008 California called Alice ❤
I think she worked the screen washers till there was no screenwash left, and sediment has blocked both.
I disconnected both jets from the tubes that supply the water and managed to disconnect the power cable with the jet so I could begin cleaning the jet holes etc.
What does the the connected cable do with the jets? Warm the eyelets?
I've no idea how you go about it as I can't visually see the jet holes?
Please help?20250325_180645.jpg

Yes, each nozzle is heated.
I presume the windscreen pump is working and liquid is pouring out of the disconnected pipes when activated?

Yip! It sure does pour out the tubes WelshGas.
As soon as I connect jets to tubes and turn on wipers the eyelets just bubble out .

That slit in the centre is the jet nozzle.
I would get a 10 to 20 ml syringe to flush the jets , sucking and blowing to clear them. Otherwise a sewing needle gently through the nozzle.

Thank you, I'll give that a go.
See someone carry out the same method with the syringe on utube.
 
I have the same issue on my car if I mix different types of screenwash, it seems to create a slimy sludge which gums everything up, I find a can of compressed air sorts it out.
