salty, dirty, cloudy, nasty glass
I am pretty sure one of the window washer squirters on my 97 ranger is clogged. The one for the passenger side works fine, but the drivers side doesn't.
How do you take it out/apart to clean it, and make sure the tube is still hooked up? I looked in my Haynes book, but it wasn't mentioned. I'm tired of having to pull into a gas station on the way to and from work to clean my windshield. I can't wait until winter is over and they stop salting the roads.

The ones on my '94 are visible from under the hood at the very back. In your '97, they may be the same, or they may be inside the cowl with a small access panel covering them. They pop out, and can be cleaned with compressed air, high pressure water, etc.

Like RangerPilot said, compressed air works good for blowing the lines out, just dont over-do it. the line runs underneath the reservoir from the motor and there is a break in the line where you can split it in two, thats the easiest place to blow it out from and should clean the lines out real good.

I want to thank everyone who responded to this. I removed the sprayer soaked in a little hydrogen peroxide (spelling?) and blew it out. Works perfect. It worked so well I noticed the passenger side wasn't spraying correctly, so I cleaned it out too.
