its filled up, right? otherwise, if the nozzle is not squirting out fluid, the tip could be clogged up. usually heavy wax does this (like god forbid you use it - tinned turtle wax). try taking a needle and poking it or scraping the top off the small pinhole. that should do it.

One of mine does this from time to time and I'm positive I haven't gotten any polish into the holes. I take a squirt bottle of warm/hot water and squirt the holes as hard as I can for a few seconds, then go and activate the washer. 100% of the time, this has worked for me. If you get into the habit of giving the washer a quick squirt just before each time you wash the car, it'll keep the nozzles freed up. If you've ever spilled windshield washer fluid and not wipe it up, you'll see that when it dries, there is a sediment. It's this same sediment that may be caked near the end of the nozzle after a long time of non-use.
