I have a 2004 Ford escape and the window washer seems to have lost it's power and the drivers side gets a steam that does not reach the windsheild and the passenger side has a spray that is very poor. Any ideas on how to check or clean the system?

take a strightpin and probe the nozzles where the water comes out they seem to me like ther plugged. they can be moved to where you want the most spray probe them and try if nothing happens do it again.
