Default windshield washer fluid jet problem

Few days ago my washer fluid light came on so I put a bottle of fluid in. A day or so later when I go to use it, the fluid hits about an inch above the wipers. I haven't changed anything besides adding the fluid, and it seems a lot of fluid is still coming out. Its also been around 0 degrees C lately so its not ice build up. Any tips to check?

Its an 03 civic LX and the fluid jets are pointed all the way up to the top.

Maybe the pump went bad.

Darksun:

Use a pin to aim the jets, somtimes to get mis aligned and shoot all over the place.

Take the pin and stick it in the hole, thenaim them accordingly. Will take a few practice shots to get it just right.

you could take the fitting off the pump and compress air up the line to try and blow the line out. might have something stuck in it
