Clean washer jets

Silly the best way to clean washer jets, one side has stopped squirting.
I've tried using thin wire to clear the jam but the wire cannot go far enough in. I cant take the hose off easily as its behind a piece of the bodywork. The only thing I have not tried is an airline but I'm concerned it could damage the pump. Any thoughts?

I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

So its a blockage in the hose not the jet itself?
All I can think of is filling the resevior with some really hot water and seeing if that will pump through and dislodge it.
Most modern cars have filters in them to stop anything getting into the hose/tubes.0 -
Can be the filter gets covered in gunge/residue and that’s blocked it. Get a hosepipe, put it down the reservoir as far as it will go, turn on tap, blast of water will clear filter.0

When I did it to help unblock my (BMW) Mini washer jets there was loads of gunge that came out!!"For every complicated problem, there is always a simple, wrong answer"0
