For front windshield, the hoses are usually easy to locate and replace. This is cheap hose so replace it. Other issues are that the spray nozzles can freeze if you don't have correct fluid in them. Most of these can also be replaced, but this may be harder depending on the location. I don't know on your car, but many modern cars have these attached to the wiper arms, so it may be very easy.

Windshield washer working no fluid coming out

Get someone to use the washer jet while you listen by the washer bottle. If you can't hear the noise of the pump working, it has more than likely failed. There is a possibility the washer switch has failed. A test light on the washer pump plug will tell if the washer pump circuit is working. Hook up the light and press the washer pump switch and it should light up. If both the washer pump and switch appear to be working, the jets are clogged and/or you have a split line (obvious due to water leaking from somewhere) A tip - don't use additives and use rain or distilled water. Detergents can attack rubber seals and tap water can cause scale to build up (plus it will leave water spots)

Where is the fuse for the water pump for the window washer

A washer pump in a car's windshield wiping system moves washer fluid from a reservoir through hoses. The motorized pump pressurizes the fluid to allow it to be squirted from the hoses through nozzles onto the front and/or rear windshield of a car. The washer fluid helps windshield wipers get rid of rain, dirt, or other objects that can interfere with a driver's visibility. If your washer fluid is not being sent out when activated, the solution could simply be filling the washer system's reservoir with more fluid or cleaning the nozzles and hoses. In more severe cases, the washer pump may need to be replaced. Here are steps to troubleshoot a windshield-washer pump.

My 2013 Toyota corolla will not squirt wiper fluid. The reservoir is full and the wipers swish back and forth and you can hear the pump motor when you try to get it to mist the windshield.

it may be a pluged washer line ,try blowing it out or take a very small strand of wire and push it down the hole where it should come out while some one pushes on squirter

I put windshield washer fluid in and it won't squirt out. where is it supposed to shoot from and how can i figure out the problem?

My guess is either your washer pump is bad,The washer switch in the car is bad,or there is a line or hose disconnected or loose somewhere in the assembly. The fluid will spray from two small ports beneath your windshield. Hope this helps.

I expect that you have two different pumps. One for your headlights and one for the winshield. So making the following test, turn off your headlights and try to get washer in your windshield. If you hear the sound of a pump then the line is disconnected or clogged somewhere. If you don't hear anything then the pump is bad. Not hard to replace (should be attached to the reservoir), not very expensive I would say $60 in auto part store)
Hope it will help
