Dangerous Condtion: Washer Fluid Pressure very low 900 1995

I have a trouble spot and would appreciate a hand. I recently rereplaced the horns with a solder connection, but I do not think this could be a cause as even though the jet motor is off the horns, it was just a solder job, no comlications here.

The washer fluid is fill force through the passenger side just, but nearly non exitant in the drivers side, which is a dangerous problem as I can't see to drive.

To isolate the cause, I took the liner off the inside of the hood and removed the d/s jet. I cleaned it with a wire, but it was totally clear. So, I took off the hose. Qlthough the hoses are flared slightly from the pressure fitting, there were no cracks in the hose.

Yet when reassembled and fluid topped up, the problem remains!!!! It is the pump or the red fitting that is the hub that sends the fluid to each jet? Ideas appreciated, not sure where to look next.

Dude I haven't used my window washers EVER in my 1977 264 because the tank is missing.

I don't think you're in any "danger"!

Replace the check valve for the washer jets.

Thanks for the tip re the check valve. I'll look into it.

I beg to differ re the significance however. Here in Canada, where we get about 12-35 feet of snowfall annually, it is not only foolish, but dangerous to drive in a frequent blizzard conditions without being able to clear the windshield and as a result see. Check web for weather conditions yesterday in central and eastern ontario. In fact, the police ticket $115. for failing to have working washer fluid jets on a car. FYI, this is a global posting site, and we all live in different conditions all over the world.
