Ford Focus windscreen washer blocked

My windscreen washer seems to have some sort of blockage. Back washer is working fine. Any diy suggestions that might clear the blockage?

Get a pin and pop it in the 2 holes on the washer jet and see if that frees it up.

Could also try getting the tyre air at a garage and spray it in to the nozzles.

If you can access the jets from underneath the bonnet then sometimes the rubber hoses leading to them can be removed.

Disconnect the hoses from the jets and use the washer to clear the hoses out, then use a needle to clear the jet nozzles.

There is sometimes also small filters on the hoses that can clog up. On my e36 I simply removed the filters and hey presto jets were functional again.
