Headlight washer stuck

Hi all - Wondering if anyone has a quick fix.

I have been able to repeatedly engage the headlight washers and the left one gets stuck.

Never gets cold here currently about 64. Generally a simple tap will return it.

I would try a light spray of silicone on piston. BTW how do you activate the headlight washer system? When I pull stalk towards driver it only activates windshield washer.

The manual says it will come on periodically (not really helpful).

I found this works:
-The car needs to be on. Otherwise you keep spraying the windshield. May have something to do with the heather.
-Headlights need to be on (Thank you zm2)
-Then I'll manually engage the windshield washer. On the third pull it seems to come on consistently.

I believe the headlights need to be on, as well.
