A small drill bit inserted and drilled through the connector will open up the plastic again and allow the fluid to flow through the jets. It's the only way to get them to work again, aside from buying new nozzles (which isn't necessary).
The pin is only to adjust the nozzles and not to clean them. Slime had built up in my lines, almost blocking them completely.
The heaters have been known to melt the plastic as you know.
