Windshield water sprayer

Pretty n00b question here. My front windshield sprayer barely reaches the glass, absolutely no pressure. The back doesn't even work. What could be the problem? Broken hoses? Pump problem?

more than likely clogged tubes - I ran a bit of diluted CLR liquid in the tank and it cleaned the entire system pretty quick. Concentrated CLR may eat paint - so be careful - try with detergent or some oxyclean stuff first....

Seems that my rear wiper pump is gone. Will a pump from the 323 work?

You could try running vinegar through the lines, might be safer than CLR with similar results.
