Here's a video that shows how to find and fix windshield washer problems. It's not an F150 but I'm assuming it would be broadly the same on our trucks.

Use a small piece of wire and push it into the nozzle jets. Most likely, they are plugged. If you removed the hose from the nozzle and the water sprayed out from the tubes, you have identified the nozzles being plugged as the culprit.

^^^^easy fix^^^^ mine started leaking from the reservoir and It was because the (orange) rain-x I use had clogged the screen halfway and it was coming out around the rubber grommet that the pump slides in to.

Depending on shipping, that's a pretty good price.
