Make sure you buy new nozzles. If you haven't tried CLR, do so! This is the product that was initially only available on TV but has made its way to places like WalMart and is great at removing calcium deposits from small lines, nozzles and orifices. Two out of three usually are taken care of simply by doing this. But don't expect immediate results. Use it a few times per day for 1-2 weeks. If there's no improvement or fix, move on...

odds are it's plugged with a lil grain of sand/debris. and that just plugs the nozzle right up. I never tried clr or any product like that for that scenario and i have it, never even thought to attempt it cause i always thought it was something solid that;s plugged it up. vs calcium/mineral buildup.
we'll see if it works.
if u wanna save it 100%.. remove it from the car. leave it in the clr and then use compressed air and blow through it backwards. i cannot see any reason why that isn't a sure thing

Did it yesterday , soaked the nozzle in clr for about 15 mins, took a spray bottle with water and forced water each way in the nozzle . Put back on and boom presto fluid out of both . Only issue was the screw holding it to the hood stripped, but I fixed that as well .

Back to a MT!
My driver side stopped working, took it apart to see what the issue was... the little one-way valve failed (and broke). Used duct tape in the mean time and works, have a new one-way valve in the car, just need to find the time to replace it. Was about $5...

When I bought my CL back in march, the driver side was screwy and seemed to have very low pressure. I just ran about a gallon of RainX through mine and it seemed to clear it up. Another 2 gallons later (and a 6000 km road-trip) and it still works good as new.
Persistence is another solution to this problem, it worked for me, but no guarantees for you or anyone else...

Oh and one more thing, I don't recommend using this in conjunction with washer fluid. I've never done this but mixing chemicals/solutions is never recommended EVER. Many would be suprised what mixing a few common, household chemicals could do and what danger they could pose. Just thought if throw that in there...
