Default squirters randomly stopped working

Just wondering if anyone else had this problem...About a month of ago, the first real snow and cold day here in WNY, i go to use my squirters and alls that come out really is some slush....

Fast forward a month and they still don't work at all.I figured maybe something happened and the wiper fluid maybe froze up some how, but thats not the case as there have been quite a few days where its been 50 or so. Also i've refilled the reservoir to the top so its not empty..Ive heard of these pumps/motors going...was wondering if anyone else has had a similiar problem and what it took to fix

They could be clogged with stuff. Try poking the holes with whatever will fit. Also you should be able to slightly hear the little motor pumping the liquid.

If you hear the pump, pull the rubber hose off the squirter and see if it works. You can buy new squirters if there clogged. Odd that both would clog though. I think the pump is right on the washer tank.

You can get a washer fluid heater if it bothers you. Or try a cold weather version.
