Get a multimeter, check for continuity between the two pins, inevitably find none, hope it doesn't get frosty.

Hello j4gz,
take the tube off the pump and see how she squirts, look for a kink in the pipe work, rubber goes hard/brittle with age - so see if any of the joints (hidden in the bonnet itself) are leaking.
One instance on mine, when buffing the car with a buff, I partly blocked the jets with polish, a sewing needle sorted that out and also helps in re aiming the jets as well, cheers.
