Anyone know how to clean wiper fluid jets on a Dodge Neon?
Got one clogged up on my SO's car. A safety pin is too big to ream out the hole and I can't get the little bastard off the hood for a closer inspection. Maybe I'll just beat it with a ball pean hammer until it works.

1. My husband says,
unhook the hose on the back side and blow back through it or use a very fine wire to see if there is some sort of blockage. Poking into the hole can mess up the spray. (BTW he's an ASE certified master mechanic who has worked at a Dodge dealership).

3. I took the hose off and it's not clogged at all.
It's in the head.

2. Try a beading needle, maybe a #10.
They are much thinner and flexible than a safety pin. You can get them at any craft store.
