I also have a 2002 someone rubbed my front bumper so I replaced it with the bumper without the washer holes. bumper is nice now without the holes for the headlight washers very clean much nicer to my liking. never used them anyway.
ok I see you were talking about the windshield washers.

Hi trickshot4, this is an easy fix. If you have access to a compressor unhook the washer hose from the nozzle under the hood, take a blow gun (rubber tipped is best) and blow compressed air through the nozzle from both directions back & forth to blow out the debris that is plugging it, hook up your hose and you will be set! If you are not comfortable doing it yourself take it to any shop and they should be able to do it for you for minimal cost. It's a common problem and I have done it many times on customer vehicles and couldn't bring myself to charge them anything for something that takes only a couple of minutes.
Good luck!

A needle may be too thick. Try a staple first. lengthen it and poke around. Sometimes wax gets in there, at least it has on mine.
