In that case it is most likely to be the washer pump that has failed. It may be worth checking for a blown fuse first, although i think this is unlikely as the wipers are possibly likely to run from the same fuse.
It will be quite easy to test for a live feed to the pump once access can be gained to it. The pump will be located at the bottom of the washer tank, which may be tucked in behind the front wheel arch (I'm not exactly sure where, but it will be easy to see wear the washer tank filler neck dis-appears to, and on a lot of cars it can be accessed by partialy removing the plastic wheel arch liner). The pump should only have a 2 pin connector plug, 1 live and 1 earth. this can be tested for by unplugging it and using a test lamp or even bulb (somthing like a 12 volt indicator bulb in a holder so the wires can be poked into the washer pump's plug). if you can light up the test lamp or bulb then it can only be the pump.
do you have rear screen washers, and if so is this filled up via a tank in the trunk/boot?
on a lot of cars this rear washer will use the same pump (in which case the pump will have 2 pipes on it, one feeding the front, the other for the rear). operating the rear washer reverses the polarity of the the live and earth feed to the pump, so the pump runs backwards and pumps liquid throught the other pipe.
if front and rear washers dont operate, this will rule out a fault with the switch if no live feed is present at the pump.

Check fuse first, then unplug the connector going into the washer tank and take a 12 volt tester and plug it into the hot side of the wire while attempting to wash your windows...does the tester come on. If the answer is yes, your pump has failed.

My windshields wipers wont work

If that happens, your windshield wipers will not work at all and you won't be able to clear any water, dirt, or snow that ends up on your windshield. Replace the windshield wiper motor right away. The windshield wiper fuse is burnt out. When the windshield wiper motor is overloaded, the fuse burns out.23 Nov 2015

Where should I look for rain water leak?

Most water leaks come from around the windshield area. Has the windshield been replaces recently? If so it may not be sealed properly. Another area where water may penetrate is through the cowling area under the wiper blades/arm where fresh air enters the car. There are water drains under this cowling allowing water to drain and if they are plugged with leaves/debris, water will enter the vehicle. Is the vehicle rusted around the windshield area? If so, suspect this to be the source of water intrusion. Most glass/windshield repair companies will diagnose water intrusion problems

Much water under front carpet of 2002 Toyota Sienna. seems to coming from up under dash on firewall I think, what say you.

If the Water smells like Antifreeeze then it is your HEATER CORE

If the water smells like Water or Dirty Water, then you have a LEAK.

Here is a TRICK..

Get an Aresol Can of WINDOW CLEANER.... Spray completely around your Windshield on OUTSIDE EDGES... YOU WANT IT FOAMY.

Get an AIR HOSE and BLOW the Windshield from the INSIDE and see where the leak is coming from.....

It has ALWAYS worked for me

Windshield Washer Pump connection to the water bottle

Take the rubber hose loose at the nozzle, try the washer. if water comes out then the little hole in the nozzle is stopped up. Use a small needle or stickpin to clean it out while someone works the washer switch.

Water leaking unto front floor carpet when driving through rain

Check around the edges of the windshield for any place water could be forced into the car. Especially if the windshield has been replaced. Check around the cowl that covers your windshield wiper motor. Remove the cowl if possible to check for rust holes or separated seams in the metal. The blower motor intake for the cars HVAC (heater) is often under this cowl. Make sure water isn't getting in through there. If you find a leak around the windshield or a separated seam, some windshield urathane or clear bathroom caulking would work. If you find a rust hole in a non visible place affix a tin or metal patch over it using rivets or your choice of fastener. Welding is the best method. Then cover the patch with short strand fiberglass bondo or something else to seal out water. If you have a hole in the floor you could put a patch on it with rivets or weld, then tar the underside well and put rocker panel coating on the top.

I have water leaking in from above thru the electronic console, wondering if it might be coming from the roof racks? I also have water coming in on the drivers side floor and can't find the leak, any...

More likely is a leak at the windshield seal at the top of the windshield. The water on the floor could also be coming from around the windshield, water leaks travel anywhere they find a path. On a dry day, take a garden hose and with very little water flow, apply the water to the top of the windshield for a while. Check for water on the floor. The water that's getting into your electronic console is probably happening at speed.

Water on pass side floor every time it rains think air vent plugged looking for a drain for air vent

check the windshield posts from the inside remove the front a pillars then poor water over the windshield edges accross the top of the roof. Sometimes rust forms between the windshield urethane and the metal surface where the windshield seals. If you see water coming down the post you need to check all the roof seam sealer points for pinholes and under the windshield urethane. You can do this next time you change your windshield. Next check for leaves stuck in the drains of the cowl venting and make sure the drains are free to drain.
