i've had a brief discussion on this forum about the following problem but have had no luck in solving the issue: only the drivers side squirter works, the stream of water is very strong, so the motor is working fine, nothing at all from the passenger side. i've tried swapping the hoses, connecting the hose from drivers side to passanger side and connecting passanger to drivers side, but all that happened was that drivers side stopped working and passenger side started working. anyway it's not the jets, and both hoses look okay. it might be something to do with the length of one of the hoses?? has anyone else had this problem?? appreciate your input as this starting to really sh!t me!

maybe replace the pump (33 from holdens, 15 for aftermarket), even tho its working for ur drivers side, may be on its way out and thats why the passenger side wont work. other than that, if none of ur hoses are blocked, and the jets are fine, im stumped.

It's the small motor that's clipped into the plastic washer reservoir.

its a pretty basic system, sounds like you have eliminated the motor and the actual jets, thereforetake of the hose system and inspect/replace/test , it will be something small, nothing is kinked or squashed is it ?

ive got the same problem!! the drivers side shoots water out with great urgency, but the passenger side is rather impotent and really struggles to even make the distance to the windscreen... hehehehe

Get a tiny pin and just stick it into the squirter hole on both sides and see if it unblocks it, you can also adjust them by doing this also... If nothing still, id replace the rubber tube from the motor to the squirter, its probably corroded or kinked or split.
