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

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.

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

Take pipe of washer pump,see if if it pumps
If not remove pump,check and clean filter ,if this model does not have fiiter,and you can hear pump and it is not pumping,replace it.

their is air in the system pull the washer pipe off press the jet for the water to come through this should be enough.
Failing that pull the pipe off at the pump the the water run through the pump put the pipe back on and the water should pass though no problem now
