Default Windshield washer spray stopped working..

Hi the title says it all. How to fix that? I actually thought that my reservoir was empty, so I bought a gallon. I poured it in and to my surprise that I still have alot of windshield washer solution in the container My car is 01 Coupe LX(4cyl)

can u hear the motor? u r using winter fluid right? has higher alcohol content so its not freezing. if so, then check the nozzles to see if they r clogged or not aimed correctly. use a paperclip. if clear then check the lines from the reservoir to the nozzles. the connection to the back of the nozzles on the hood has to be just right for the tension to work. check and see if u have any leaks esp where the hood meets the fender near the edge of the windshield. i have a 92 and there is a little rubber pc looks like an accordian elbow and it can dry rot and leak it would need to be replaced. happened on a friend's accord.
