Default Passenger Windshield Wiper Washer Nozzles Not Squirting

got in my vdp this morning, had some slushy ice on the windshield... so i cycled my windshield wipers and sprayed some washer fluid.

well i noticed that my passenger side washer nozzles were not spraying. driver's side was fine.

have not looked at it, nor investigated the problem yet.

was just wondering if this had happened to anyone else or if there was a quick fix or if it's something really simple like a water line slipping off that i need to look for.

thanks in advance for any help!

Questions: -

1. Was the ambient temperature at icing level ?
2. Have you got a very strong screen wash solution in the reservoir able to withstand low temperatures ?

These Jaguar X350 screen washers are a clever idea that is not quite so clever in practice from my own experience. My previous car, a Rover 75, had heated washer jets, but those on the Jaguar X350 are on the wiper arms so not heated. I never had any problems with the Rover washers, but the Jaguar ones don't really put enough fluid onto the screen in severe or adverse conditions, and can freeze up too.

In your case, I'd try to clear the nozzles with a needle. There are three on each wiper blade.
