Know what you mean, we've been having W/S washer weather here too (northcentral WI). Damn road salt.........................
That is awesome info. Thank you. Do you know how to access the pumps? Also, how easy is to replace the assembly? Do I need to remove the whole front end/bumper etc I assume? Is it even worth it?

If memory serves (IF) they're behind the left front tire, inside the fender. Need to pull the fender liner out for access. The headlight washer pump should be the one with the bigger hose.
The easiest way to change the nozzle is pull the front bumper cover off. They come off fairly simple.
