Carefully poke at them with a sewing needle until all the gunk is worked out (probably wax), then flush then with washer fluid.

I used simple green in the nozzle and left it soak for 30 minutes.....then used an air compressor to force air through the nozzles. I shot out a lot of black sludge.....then the washer pump was connected an it works fine....a needle can be used to adjust the spray location on the window.

The L and T-shaped check valves can also go bad, I just had to replace one of mine.
