Welcome to the forum!
Does the fluid come out with good force, it just isn't aimed properly, or is the pressure low?
If the aiming is the problem, then re-aim the nozzles. If the pressure is low, then check the hoses for restrictions. If no restrictions, you may be due for a new pump. You do have plenty of washer fluid in the reservoir, correct, and the fluid is appropriate washer fluid and not mostly water?
There may be a check valve in the hoses too, so you shouldn't try to use forced air to blow through the hoses backwards.
