windshield washer stopped working

so i went to use my windshield washer on day and it didn't work. heard the pump but nothing came out. headlight washers work fine. so i pulled the line from under the hood by the washers and shot compressed air through it and it worked fine for a day. got stuck again. today i pulled the wheel off and the fender liner to get to the tank and pump to see if its the filter on the pump and it was fine. blew some more compressed air through the line from the bottom and it worked. went to wash my car an hour later and tried again and nothing. i am at a loss. any ideas or has anything like this happened to anyone else before?

The line is probably pinched somewhere?

There is a check valve just before the passenger side washer jet. I would replace that valve.

Also look at your washer jets. They can corod. Especially since they are heated when it's cold out.

PS: What do you use for washer fluid?
