Problem with the Wiper Fluid

Before I post my problems I'd like to say thanks to everyone who helped me with my transmission issue

I'm not gonna get the fluid done yet cuz my grandma didn't beat the car up that bad

She said the fastest she went was 80 once lol


It's at 71k and it kicks like my bro's BMW 330i



Anyways

I'm in NJ and it's freezing and I lose my garage space to my moms 2007 s550 and my bros car.

So my poor baby is outside cold


Anyways sometimes to get some dirt off the windshield I go to spray the water and nothing comes out and I just filled the fluid last month

It's full

What do I do?

We need some more info...do you even hear the pump coming on or is it silent? If it doesnt come on at all then you need to check the fuses. If it does come and you just dont see the fluid then you have a leak or a stoppage in one of the lines. Please give more info for help.

I hear the pump goin off I just think it's frozen because it used to work when it was in Florida and it was warm so IDK

It only works on the passenger side at times

Also I have headlight washers and they work but the driver side one is a little loose and one time that I used it the thing flew off the car and I just took it and pushed it back in.
It's still a little loose.

But the I hear the pump going off it's just nothing coming out

I recent encountered the same problem. It came out to be a Y-split at the hose, under the hood, right by the nozzle on the driver side. It broke off so I just had the Y-split replaced and works great again.
