Windshield Washer Won't Squirt

My windshield washers stopped working a few weeks ago. I did a search and determined that it just needed a pin in the nozzles to fix. Next I lifted the hood and checked to see if reservoir was full. Pull steering column lever with ignition on and it squirts on windshield.

Fixed!

Last week while driving, I needed to wash crud off windshield and... nothing.

Today:

Check fluid level check

Turn on ignition, squirt back window check

Ignition on, try to squirt front... motor noise, but no water.

Pin in nozzles... seems clear... the passenger side has a few drops of fluid

Remove hood liner. Used two wood chisels to pry out rivets on a few fasteners that would not unscrew. check

Remove supercharger inlet plastic thingy check

Undo wires on nozzle from clip on hood????? Evidently my car has heated nozzles (Winter Package) check

Undo hose to nozzle check

Push up and out to unsnap nozzle check

Blow 100 psi air thru nozzles all clear

Ignition on squirting like crazy

Button everything up and close bonnet.

Double check washers.... nothing

What the heck. I'm feeling like Clark Griswold about now.

Follow hose to passenger side corner of hood. Plastic clip that holds it in place is broken. Closing hood pinches hose and nothing gets thru.

Tuck hose out of way when closing. Fixed.

Just thought I would share this one.
