Do you have the wiper fluid resevoir filled? Always best to check the basics first. You might have a clog in the tube somewhere? Does the fluid come out in the back?

Odds are that you either have a leak, a clog or possibly a dead motor. Post back with any other information that you have.

It sounds like the nozzles are clogged.

Take a straight pin and insert it into each of the brass nozzles of the windshield squirters. Then try again. If you still have problems, then there's probably a kink in the hose somewhere between the pump and squirter.

I have had the check valves sieze up before. If the nozzles arent clogged i.e. you can blow air through the hoses going to them, then try to blow forward through the check valve. The check valve is a ball/spring valve inline with the windshield washer tubes. Usually located right on the inside of the hood.

The hose wasn't connected. Since they replaced the hood because it got crushed in an accident before i bought the car. I found out today when a huge puddle of blue water formed under the car when I was trying to find out what the hell was wrong . I popped the hood and yup the hose was not connected. It works fine now. Thanks for your help guys.
