Windshield Wiper Fluid

My windshield wiper fluid squirts out sometimes and other times nothing at all, the tank is full of fluid, any ideas what is going wrong?

Is the pump a DIY job?

Certainly seems possible but I'm not a DIY kind of guy so others would give better advice that would I.

try taking a needle and poke it into the nozzle aperture and see if that works. Maybe clogged from a mini sand/dust blow up somewhere.

Anybody know if there are individual pumps for windshield and headlights as none squirt water when engaged.
