My drivers side washer nozzle has stopped working for an unknown reason.
I checked to see if the alignment was off, maybe got push down, but no looks fine.
Examined to see if somehome the pin hole was plugged, doesn't appear that way.
Any ideas? I am out of warrenty so I hope to fix it myself.
Thanks.

Check to see if there is a hose that has disconnected itself somewhere. I had a problem on my '96 Golf, the rear nozzle wouldn't work and I traced it all the way up to the washer resevior. The hose had disconnected itself and was just spraying on the ground.

Nice to see the spelling police checking in.

Good to know you're right on top of things.
Stewz, definitely check the hoses. You could also try using a pin to clear the nozzle. You could also try disconnecting a washer hose and blowing the line out.

I never said I was a spelling Bee.

I will look at the hoses, maybe the current cold waether ...opps.. weather messed it up.

Have you waxed your car lately? Sometimes wax gets in the nozzle opening and causes it to plug up.
Also, I notice you live in Toronto. Back when I lived in the frigid north, I used to get ice plugs forming in the lines with certain brands of windshield washer fluid. I don't recall the brand I switched to that did not give me problems, but the problem stopped. I suppose some windshield washer fluids have a higher percentage water content than others.
Good luck...
P.S. Hey spelling police, don't forget to capitalize the first letter of each sentence.

I leave that for the Grammar and Capitalization Police. I only do spelling.

Mine used to do that every winter, the lines would freeze and eventually disconnect the hoses from the washer fluid reservoir due to the expanding fluid.
I switched to the "non-freeze" stuff, the kind that supposedly washes your windows when there is ice on them, and defreezes (Which works OK, I guess, but not that great.) and it quit popping my washer-nozzle lines off.
