Method and apparatus are disclosed for vehicle washer fluid delivery diagnostics and cleaning. An example vehicle includes an engine, a windshield, a camera for capturing images of the windshield, a nozzle, and a washer fluid controller. The washer fluid controller is to instruct the nozzle to spray washer fluid responsive to detecting the windshield is obstructed based upon a first image, determine whether the nozzle emitted a target spray based upon a second image, and pump pressurized air through the nozzle upon detecting the target spray was not emitted and the engine is off.
