Nozzles are plugged? Remove nozzles, clear lines, nozzles and screens.
If still a problem, rinse tank and fill with a few gallons of water. Find a convenient point to disconnect pump outlet side from all nozzles. Try pump, if same problem, keep opening connections closer to pump outlet until blockage is cleared.
I tried a few things and I'm not sure which was the trick or if it was a bit of all. I detached the sprayer hose from the container and put the hose and sprayer end in a bucket of water in case old spray was in the nozzle then tried spraying it in and out of the bucket for a while trying to dissolve any plugs. Still didn't work. Then I put the container up higher than the hose and sprayer and tilted container and tried spraying for about 15- 25 seconds and it started spraying again. Good luck!
by using a pin to clear the nozzle all you are doing is pushing the obstruction back into the hose which immediately comes back into the nozzle blocking it again. Take off the hose to the nozzle and use compressed air to blow the obstruction out of the system
not to be a smart @ss but is there fluid in the tank? Hose might be plugged to nozzle, remove hose from nozzle and see if anything comes out of the hose when you push button. if it does nozzle might be plugged. Use alittle Compressed air, to back feed through nozzle from outside to inside. Need more info: temps outside, kind of vehicle (year make and model) check fuses for washer fluid?
When you pump the handle is there resistance? If there is, pressure is building up in the sprayer.
If there is no resistance, the sprayer pump is probably deteriorated and should be replaced.
If there is pressure and when you squeeze the trigger nothing comes out, remove the nozzle and make sure there is nothing plugging it.
Good Luck,

Have you checked for the sprayer nozzles under the clear vacuum housing are not plugged with some foreign debris, carpet fibre buildup etc. Place the unit on bare floor and engage/turn on the motor/pump and pull the trigger/switch? No water? Check also that the hose/attachment wands have water or not? If they are operating then the nozzles to the carpet off the main unit may need to be cleared by using a pin (Safely) se if there is no foreign debris in sprayer nozzle. I have seen soap solution gone crystalized and the minute pieces clog up the on board prefilter and yet somehow clogs the nozzles as well. you may have to take the top of the unit off (approx. 6 screws) and see if there is water flow or maybe a kink in water /sprayer/nozzle line. Good luck
The sprayer nozzle is clogged, first try cleaning it with a very thin pin, if still it doesn't work, you can install a new one, all you need to do is press the side clips of the sprinkler ( under the hood ) and it easily pops up and pull it out ( top of the hood ).
