both of the sprayers have stopped spraying wiper fluid on my windshield (both stopped at the same time as far as I can remember). I tried to clean them out with a pin, but this did not help.

Please let me know what the possible solution/s might be and, if at all possible, send me diagrams of the vehicle that show me what to do. Thank you very much!

Check for power getting to the pump, do you hear it run at all? Take some compressed air or try to blow through the rubber hose that leads to the squirts from the pump to see if it is restricted.

I have no diagrams, but, check for a blown fuse, if no blown fuses, the washer pump may need replacing, unplug the connector, have someone activate the pump, and test for voltage at the connector, if there is voltage replace the pump.
