Windshield washer issues (front and rear)
I already know what's wrong, I just don't know where to look in order to fix it.
So the first time I used the washer, it did great. Second time, it gave about 1/2 second of good spray, then fizzled to a stream, apparently running out. Dumped a full gallon into the reservoir, and got about a half-second of the fizzly stream and then nothing. I've noticed washer fluid leaking out around the passenger side hood hinge, and I can hear water bubbling sounds in the passenger A pillar when I'm trying to use the rear washer. Great, so I've either popped a fitting, or a hose (or multiple) has broken.
Can someone point me to which panels I need to remove in order to find the broken or disconnected hoses? From the couple pages I've found online, it looks like I should be looking under the passenger wiper cowl, and the passenger kick panel?

Not sure if you have the same problem. Water was leaking under the bottle, turned out to be the pump. Put a new pump in. One of my front squirters did not spray well at all. Used a sewing needle to clear the nozzle, unhooked the rubber hose before the water bottle and used compressed air (blow gun with a rubber tip) to blow the crap out of the line. I did both the front nozzles and now have good working washer spray in the front. Make sure you disconnect the hose from the water bottle or you might blow a line someplace.
