Windshield washer sprayer question

My wipers work front and back. the sprayer works in the back when I press the button.
But the front only works sometimes. I have enough fluid. Fuses seem to be ok. Any ideas on what's going on. I got an 07 lt automatic.

Check your nozzles on the front, use a pin to clean them out and see if you're back to spraying. Windshield washer fluid can leave crusty deposits as it evaporates over time and that'll block the spray nozzles.

I've also had dried car wax clog them like that, too. Clean them like he^ said with a pin, and it should do the trick.

Wax can be a real issue with blockage of washers, if you are not very careful about not letting any get on the nozzels. I have had that happen, but its easy to fix, fortunately.

Not trying to thread jack but I'm curious about something with my squirts and this is the first thread I've seen on the subject. For the back one, is it supposed to kind of just pour fluid straight down the window or is it actually supposed to spray/mist? Once again sorry to thread jack.

I know mine just pours down. Kinda like a water fall.

Ok sounds about right then. Just curious more or less if that's how it was supposed to work.
