I would disconnect the fluid hoses from the nozzles by pulling them off where they attach on the underside of the hood. Then switch on the washer to make sure you get a fluid stream from the hoses. If you do then the blockage is at the nozzles and the pump is working. I find the usual thing that plugs them is wax from waxing the car. You can use a fine needle or pin to poke the nozzle opening fromthe outside where they spray the windshield. Put it straight in and do not rotate itbecause you may redirect the spray pattern as the nozzle openings allow for aiming. Then re-attach the hoses and see if they're clear. If not you may need some compressed air to clear them, not much of a charge if any at a service center.
