System is probably stopped up.It could be in the bottle at the pumpor somewhere before it tees off to both sides.

sounds like the washer pump filter is blocked up. This is a common problem.

SOURCE: Windscreen washers

Fords have a common problem with their washer pumps. for the last 12 years ford have fitted a plastic mesh over the inlet to the washer pump, this blocks up with the build up of crystalized washer fluid. fords official protocol says to use a small sharp object the size of a pencil to peirce the mesh and allow the flow of water. Also most washer bottles can be accessed via the front wheel arch. simple undo the fixings and pull the innier plastic wheelarch out the way and pull the pump out of the bottle. they are never fixed in just wedged in.

SOURCE: No front washer jets

well the easiest way to tell if the motor is working properly and the hose and the {Jets are not frozen / clogged up is to remove the hose to the pump or from one of the jets to see if fluid comes out when activated ....some washer fluid will freeze up in the line etc if it is not winter blend ..rendering warmer weather temperature fluid useless
this is the easiest way in determining this

Washer resovoir

To remove the washer bottle you need to remove the right front wheel and the inner fender liner to access the washer bottle. Couple of 10mm nuts hold the bottle in place. Leak may be coming from filler neck rubber grommet as well and not the washer bottle.

My front windshield wiper pump does not pump washer fluid but the wipers work fine , the back wiper and pump works

First make sure you have water in washer reservoir, with ignition on reds (not started) then get someone to operate washer while bonnet is closed otherwise the wipers (may come on) may damage your bonnet (would also be a good idea to throw some water on your screen before commencing), listen for a buzzing noise, if you can hear that noise than your washer motor is ok, if not - if fitted with fuse check it and if fuse is ok than your motor needs attention. If motor is ok than while someone is operating the washer motor look under the car to see if there is any water leaking, if there is water leaking than the hose going from your washer bottle to your washer nozzles has come off somewhere, visually check this hose, usually small diameter and clear in colour, reconnect or replace it. If there is no water leak and you have full water and motor is working, than your nozzle, usually located on the bonnet or wiper arms are blocked, this mainly happens after polishing the vehicle. There are 2 main ways of cleaning these nozzles, easiest way is to get a fine pin and poke it several times, this will clean it 85% of the time, if it does not work than you need to find the hose that connects to it and pull apart at a join, closer to the nozzle the better, and give it short burst of compressed air, have to be careful not to pop the hose out at the nozzle as some of them are located in really awkard points, hope this helps.

Windscree washers not working.( Ford Focus 2000 Ghia)

Really cheap and dirty trick!!!
Pull off the pipe from one of the the jets, Take a glass full of water and take a swig, blow this water DOWN the pipe, effectively reverse flushing the pump and sending the debris back out of the filter, flush the bottle again afterwards and refill with water/fluid

The water thing of the windshields is not working, I already tried putting a pin through the hole to see if it was clogged, and I checked the water thing at the front and its full. What else can I do?

have someone hold down the washer stalk to activate and listen, if its not spinning to squirt water then you may need a new pump, or the switch on the column.
