abowie Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Enjoying the 2008 SEL - no complaints. I tried to clean my windshield yesterday and the driver side windshield sprayer nozzle (on hood) just dribbles and the passenger side quit spraying completely....? Any suggestions where I should start trouble shooting would be appreciated - thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theakerr Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 wire in the nozzle outlet would be my 1st try to make sure it is not clogged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abowie Posted September 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 wire in the nozzle outlet would be my 1st try to make sure it is not clogged FYI: I removed the under-hood heat shield and found the passenger side pray nozzle had cracked off where it connects to the fluid hose and was just hanging....hence the fluid was just pumping out under the hood. The Edge is under warranty so Ford replaced it at no cost. Not sure what caused it to crack in the first place,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakjefferson Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Funny, I just fixed this for the third time in two weeks. Keeps coming off. This time I used an elastic band to hold it in place. I'm out of warranty, I should go see how much a replacement part is. 08 SEL as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar152010 Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) [My 08 did the same thing. I figured mine were plugged up too but found out differently. The problem is the nozzles get brittle and break off where the hose connects. It's from the extreme heat in the summer sun, when you remove the hood insulation you'll find it soaked with washer fluid from the broken off line. Dealer said they sell a lot of them ($4.50 each) I bought a couple extra. GM and Chrysler have the same issues with their hood mounted nozzles.
