Might sound simple and I apologies if you have checked this. There is a 25amp fuse (clear plastic ) that runs both the headlight washers and the front windscreen washers. Mine froze up in January and popped the fuse to save the pump and motors.

fuse is fine bud'......and the 2 jet-flaps can be gently prized upwards to reveal the workings.....several upy-downy pumps results in a bit of washer fluid visable around the stem but none from the jets themselves.....im led to believe these are pressure activated, ie they rise up and squirt with the pressure caused by the screen-jets-motors. ?
maybe its just an o-ring or 2 that needs replacing?

The washers are pressure operated, is the pump running ?
Turn the headlights on and operate the washers for 5-10 secs and see if that helps.
Some screen wash fluids have been known to sludge up.
maybe take the pipes off under the bumper and see if your getting water there...
