Default Windshield Washer pump

My 2005 GC SXT windshield washer pump had slowed to a minor squirt, checked levels, all was good. Replaced washer pump and while pump was disconnected, I used an air compressor to make sure lines were clear and air came through fine. Reconnected pump in place with secure hose fittings and still only getting a minor trickle from front washer ports. Any suggestions?

> Disconnect the line where it tees off to the nozzles. If you get a healthy stream there remove the nozzles and soak in vinegar.

> Getting a healthy stream at the pump with the line disconnected? If not there may be crud or ice in the tank.

> Using an OEM or aftermarket pump?

When I disconnected the lines to change the pump originally, they did drain. It is not a temperature issue, problem started when temps were 50+ degrees. I am wondering if it is a maybe pressure leak.

I'm with Cougar. I think your nozzles are clogged.
