One of my sundaresan washer jets has stopped working

It's the most important one as well, the one on the right.

Is it possible that it's blocked? If so could I unblock it with a pin or would that make things worse?

Edit: I meant windscreen washer jets, posting from phone = gibberish

Can try unblocking with a pin, might work. Bear in mind there's a few feet of tube before the washer jet though, so perhaps check for kinks etc.

Thanks, I'm pretty sure the jet is getting water as the one along side it works ok and is fed from the same tube. I'll check the tube anyway, then I'll have to resort to using a pin

Could be the jet, could be the pump, could be a valve.

My friend's Ka jets weren't working...the pump had come out of the bottle.

On my car there are one way valves between the jets and the bottle/pump...they can get blocked with algae if people don't use screen wash just plain water. I couldn't be bothered with unblocking them so just bought new jets and valves.
