Default Washer fluid won't spray

Any ideas? I can hear it trying to spray but it won't. I have checked all visible hoses and there is nothing obvious.

What about the nozzle itself? It's it frozen? What about looking at the washer bottle itself maybe sounding is clogging it from the reservoir....

Cold weather and too much water in fluid? Happened to me and I drained crap i got as washer fluid from local place. If it is use arctic type only for cold weather.

I will only use the stuff rated -25 or if I can get the -35 from late October until march. Everything else freezes when you need it most.

Well this is both confusing and embarassing. The other day I checked the hoses, filled the reservoir to about half. It was 2 degrees. Everything looked good, just wouldn't spray.
I just went back to check again after reading some posts, (its much warmer today) and the reservoir is empty. The hose just past the pump was disconnected.
I can only imagine it WAS frozen from cheap warm weather fluid which made it expand and become disconnected. Then I must have sprayed it all over the highway after it thawed. Trying to get it to work.

At any rate it's all hooked up and working now. Thanks guys.

The hose came off of the rear connector to the hardtop and I sprayed all inside the jeep one time!! Glad you found your problem.
