Needle nose, make sure that the washer nozzle itself has not broken off. if there is a hard piece of plastic inside of the rubber hose you will need to replace the washer nozzle.

Replace windshield washer hose on 2010 ford focus

Broken at the hood?DO NOT use Ford parts.Best repair is ......go to a "upull parts lot" this is where you remove the car parts yourself,find an older Hyundai Accent 2003 2004 style and pull the windshield washer hood squirters and hoses off the hood.They will fit right on your 2010 Focus hood.Bonus.... they will never break apart like the plastic Ford ones.Just attach the Hyundai rubber hose onto your plastic feed line on your Focus on the passenger side.

Windshield washer pump

If you have access to compressed air, pull off line at reservoir and detach from other side too. Blow air through line to dislodge blockage. Work your way up to nozzles on hood. Not really easy but works. Or replace all the lines. Or pull nozzles on hood off and clean thoroughly.

06 chevy impala hood light on and none of my intruments inside the car work

Hood light on ????? hood ajar light ! Could be the switch . But without testing this would be a guess . Do you know how to test automotive electrical circuit's ? Do you know anything about automotive electronic's ? BCM - body control modules ( computer ) The first diagnostic procedure would be to hook up a factory or a professional scanner an check for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble code's in the BCM .
Wiper/Washer System Components
The Wiper/Washer System consists of the following components:
• Windshield wiper/washer switch
• Body control module (BCM)
• Wiper PCB relay
• Wiper high PCB relay
• Windshield wiper motor
• Windshield washer fluid pump
• Windshield washer fluid level switch
• WPR fuse 25 A
• WSW fuse 10 A

Your best bet , take your vehicle to a qualified repair shop. Nothing you can do without knowledge an proper diagnostic equipment .

Bad wiper motor on 1996 dodge grand caravan

According to the Haynes repair manual Chapter 12:

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable
2. Detach washer hoses, lift the wiper arm covers and mark the wiper arm locations on the pivot shaft for later re-installation. Remove the wiper pivot nut and remove the wiper arms.
3. Remove the cowl cover (from chapter 11)
3a. Remove the wiper arms then remove the screws that hold the lower area of the cowl cover to the wiper module.
3b. Disengage the quarter turn fasteners that hold the outer ends of the cowl cover to the wiper module.
3c. Open the hood and release the wing nuts that hold the front of the cowl cover to the wiper module.
3d. Close the hood but do not latch it. Now remove the outboard screws and lift the cover up enough to get to the washer hose.
3e. Disconnect the washer hose from the right washer nozzle. Close the hood but do not latch it. Lift the cowl cover toward the windshield and off the vehicle.
3f. Installation is the reverse of removal
4.Open the hood. Disconnect the wiper motor electrical connector.
5. Disconnect the windshield washer hose from the coupling inside the unit. Disconnect the drain tubes from the bottom of the wiper unit.
6. Remove the wiper unit mounting bolts. (Picture appears to be three (possibly allen head) bolts)
7. Remove wiper unit.
8. Installation is the reverse of removal. Wiper blade and wiper arm adjustment is measured with the wipers parked; correct adjustment is the lower wiper arm approximately 1.5 inches distance from the cowl cover and the upper arm approximately 2.5 inches from the lower arm. Operate the wiper motor and check that the wiper motor parks when the wiper switch is OFF.
